Course Overview

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., Ph.D., MD, MPhil) and enhance your professional skill set and career options.

Our Career Development Service is here to support you with advice on interviews, CVs, work experience, volunteering, and more. From Freshers’ Week to Graduation and beyond, they are here to help you reach your professional goals. As well as studying for a postgraduate qualification, you will be able to seek recognition by Advance HE as an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

You will have the opportunity to study alongside qualified clinicians from different clinical backgrounds and career stages as part of a supportive, diverse, multi-disciplinary group supported by leading educational researchers and practitioners.

This postgraduate qualification can also be taken by students studying for an undergraduate medical degree as an intercalated MSc (MSc).
