Clinical Education MSc

University of Leicester

The postgraduate course in Clinical Education offers you the opportunity to study the training of health care professionals, and develop the knowledge and skills which underpin contemporary practice in clinical education. We offer flexible part-time study options, including a Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert), a Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip), and a Master of Science (MSc) degree, as well as a full-time MSc. The course includes a series of taught modules which are designed to enhance your skills as a clinical educator and gain a deeper understanding of the core principles and theories informing best practices in healthcare professions education. If you study for the MSc you will also complete an educational research project, supported by a research supervisor, culminating in a written dissertation. This will allow you to apply your learning from the taught modules to a topic that really interests you. Upon successful completion of each level there is the opportunity to progress to the next qualification (i.e. from PGCert to PGDip, or from PGDip to MSc). This structured progression allows you to continually build and extend expertise across a wide range of areas within clinical education.
