About the course
We understand that you may not have the time to do a full-time degree, so our CPD pathways allow you to study flexibly, in the way that best suits you

The structure, mode of delivery and level of support allow you to progress towards a qualification at postgraduate certificate, postgraduate diploma or Masters level


Medical and Clinical Education (MaCE) was developed in response to requests from local GPs, nurses and allied health professionals

The desire of these practitioners to develop their teaching and assessing skills, and to pursue an accredited programme, reflects the increasing recognition of the value of work-based learning in professional education


The programme provides you with a systematic and critical understanding of the key concepts underlying learning, teaching and assessing in the medical and clinical practice environment

It enables health care professionals to acquire advanced skills in teaching and assessing students in a medical and clinical practice context


This is a modularised pathway and you can choose to study part-time between two and five years

Teaching contributions are drawn from expertise across the University’s academic departments and many modules are supported by Moodle, our online learning environment


This course will:
Enable you to apply your understanding of educational, legal and ethical frameworks and healthcare policy to enable others to learn and enhance their own professional practice, thereby being a positive role model for your students
Help you engage in quality enhancement and improve students’ learning experiences
