Application information

Entry requirements

The PGCert course is open to all healthcare professionals and those working in non-clinical roles who contribute (or wish to increase their contribution) to the education of healthcare students and postgraduate learners. A first degree is not essential but evidence of ability to study at Masters level and a current teaching commitment are desirable. OR For intercalating MSc medical students, successful completion of at least three years’ basic medical science at a UK medical school (having gained at least 360 credits) with a guaranteed place to continue medical studies on completion of the MSc. The course forms one of two validated routes for entry to the PGDip or MSc in Clinical Education (will become MA Health Professions Education from 2027/28, subject to validation), the other being via the PGCert in Simulation in Clinical Practice. This course is open to UK applicants only (and EU applicants who are appointed to a post within HEESE). The deadline for applications is the end of July preceding the September commencement of the course. BACKGROUND IMAGE FOR PANEL
