MA Medical Education

This MA Medical Education has been specifically designed for doctors, dentists, senior nurses, allied health professionals and academics, involved in undergraduate or postgraduate teaching of clinicians.

It aims to attract committed educators working in and around clinical contexts, who seek to both improve teaching and learning. You'll gain a deep understanding of how to evaluate and improve curriculum; and you'll understand more fully the educational potential of the working environment.

You will be given opportunities to develop knowledge and skills as educators, using your own practice and workplace setting as a research context. You will engage with like-minded colleagues and analyse the nature and dynamics of teaching and learning in clinical education, drawing on a wide range of educational theories. This programme requires you to become an active researcher of medical education in order to develop teaching and learning opportunities for students.

You can choose to study this MA full-time or part-time to fit around your commitments. We also offer this MA as an online programme or you can choose to study for a shorter Postgraduate Certificate, that can be studied part-time only on campus or online.
