Postgraduate Prospectus

This course has start dates in September and January   

This dynamic course, delivered over two modules, is specially designed for health and social care practitioners who teach and assess students and staff in clinical practice.

Most applicants usually have a degree, however we will consider those who can demonstrate equivalent skills and knowledge.

The course will enable you to:

• Analyse knowledge of education and professional issues relating to your role as an educator in the practice setting
• Explore the tensions between theory and practice and their implications when facilitating student and staff learning in practice
• Debate contemporary policy issues in the context of research in professional education and clinical practice
• Demonstrate your abilities to meet standards set out by your professional body

Students who take this course have evaluated it highly, reporting that it has enhanced their role and opened the door for significant career development. They also tell us that it has expanded their knowledge of educational theory, while providing a practical toolkit of strategies for developing education in practice. Applying cutting-edge theory that is relevant to your own practice is one of the key strengths of the course.

Profession-specific requirements
For nurses and midwives, you will need to complete 30 days of protected study time, supported by your employer for the duration of the course, in order to meet the NMC Practice Teacher Standards part of the course.
