Teaching
We adopt a student-centric approach, ensuring that the needs and priorities of our students are at the heart of everything we do.
Acknowledging the busy schedules of healthcare professionals, this part-time, wholly online course offers a state-of-the-art flexible online learning environment, allowing students to balance their studies with their personal and professional commitments. This includes a carefully considered blend of live and asynchronous learning components, enabling students to learn at their own pace and access course materials at any time, on any device.
We pride ourselves on offering personalised support to students throughout their learning journey. Many of our learners are returning to education after a significant gap so the course includes a comprehensive induction, guidance on academic writing and study and regular feedback. This helps students to overcome barriers to learning and fosters a sense of belonging and engagement within their group.
Throughout the course, students will engage in:
- Weekly online synchronous tutorials
- Stimulating weekly activities
- Tutor-moderated discussion forums
- Reflective exercises
- Practical application of teaching and learning in their clinical or academic environment
Class sizes
The course recruits 3 cohorts per year.
We have ~150 students in each module on the PG Certificate (Modules 1-3).
Many students exit the course after completing the PG Certificate (as this allows them to apply for Associate Fellowship of Advance HE).
We have ~50 students in each module on the PG Diploma (Modules 4-6).
Students are allocated to groups of approximately 25 based on their preference for tutorial times.
Assessment
Each of the core PG Certificate and PG Diploma modules has a combination of both formative and summative assessment. These include a portfolio of teaching practice including the creation of learning outcomes and materials and for the summative assessments, an evidence-based reflection on teaching activity and group and individual presentations.
For the MSc and the research module, assessment will comprise a research protocol, oral presentation, poster presentation and a journal article.

Please note that some reading lists may have restricted access or be unavailable at certain times of year due to not yet being published. If you cannot access the reading list for a particular module, please check again later or contact the module’s host department.
