Master's in Medical Education

During this two-year programme working towards the Master’s in Medical Education, you will cover a wide range of medical education topics and assessment methods. 

In Year One, you will study six taught modules following the same pattern and module structure, with each module taught in a six-week block. Following this, Year Two will provide the opportunity to hone your critical research skills during the professional project.

Learning takes place in tutor groups of 10-20 students. You will log into the Academic Forum daily to participate in weekly questions, interact with the tutor and fellow students, follow discussion threads, and complete a range of assignments.

The structure of our medical education courses promotes lifelong learning, critical appraisal, reflection and advanced problem-solving skills; highly sought-after competencies that can be cultivated and evaluated through the carefully considered assessment process of this Master’s programme.

The online format of the medical education Master’s offers you the freedom to manage your studies alongside current clinical and professional duties, enabling you to further your career without taking time away from your full-time job.

Graduates will also benefit from acquiring a unique global perspective by learning in a peer network of multidisciplinary, international students. This will enhance their ability to inspire and educate diverse groups of healthcare professionals.

When you successfully graduate from this programme, you will be awarded a Master’s in Medical Education from the University of Wolverhampton, in partnership with Learna | Diploma MSc.
