Medical Education is offered by Warwick as a MMedED, PGCert and PGDip. Led by experienced clinicians and leading academics in the medical education field, this course will enhance your knowledge and skills as an educator, helping you grow in confidence for your own professional practice.

The Postgraduate Certificate stage is accredited by the Higher Education Academy.


Covering the key principles and methods of teaching and learning within healthcare environments, this course will provide you with the skills needed to plan and deliver successful teaching sessions. Our flexible course structure allows you to study over a three-year period, starting with the PG Certificate, then progressing to the PG Diploma and finally completing the full MMedEd.


Each module is organised as a five-day intensive study block. You will be taught through lectures and seminars. In addition to intensive face-to-face teaching, the foundation module also features online learning, including resource-based teaching and online discussion.

Each module is assessed by a 4,000 word written assignment. The first two assignments include a reflective teaching portfolio. The Professional Project is assessed by 4,000 word project report, an oral presentation and poster presentation.
