Course Description

Our Masters level course in Clinical Education will help you to become an effective clinical teacher, and develop your skills in educational leadership, scholarship and discovery. 

Our course allows you to study the training and development of healthcare professionals, develop your practical skills and understand the evidence underpinning contemporary practice in clinical education.

The modules are based around three themes, covering the range of contemporary clinical education:

Student Destinations

An educational qualification is either ‘essential’ or ‘desirable’ for most senior clinical roles: many of our graduates will move into senior clinical roles within the NHS, others will move into ‘teaching’ roles within universities or training institutions, or educational leadership roles. This course will prepare you for a higher degree (e.g. PhD, MD, MPhil) and will enhance your professional skill set and career options.
