MSc/PGCert/PGDip in Health Professions Education

Develop the skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional teaching, assessment, course design and educational research, so you can inspire and lead in your area of practice and ultimately improve health outcomes. At Hull York Medical School, we not only deliver exceptional education, but teach others to do so too - using the latest pedagogical evidence-based practice. If you are as passionate as we are about delivering high quality education, your journey starts here. Our Health Professions Education programme will equip you with the skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional teaching, assessment, course design and educational research, so you can inspire and lead in your area of practice and ultimately improve health outcomes. The programme is open to those from across the healthcare professions, so whether you work in medicine, dentistry, nursing, physiotherapy or any other relevant profession, we can help you take the next steps to enhance your teaching. Students have come to the programme from a wide range of healthcare professions, both clinical and non-clinical. We offer three routes - a Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma and MSc - all of which are flexible and designed to fit around your busy work schedule and home life.

Applicants to the full-time MSc must hold a relevant undergraduate degree or its equivalent. Students must have access to an appropriate level of teaching activity (we recommend around 18 hours which should ideally consist of a few separate events) during the year of the programme. Applicants to the full time MSc must ensure they have sufficient protected time in order to commit to studying the full programme (180 credits) in one year, evidenced in the personal statement. Intercalating medical students must have successfully completed a minimum of three years of an MB BS or comparable medical qualification.
