Teaching
All teaching on our distance learning postgraduate courses in medical education is delivered through an online virtual learning environment and incorporates a range of interactive teaching.
These resources enable regular peer and tutor interaction and the majority of the material can be studied in your own time, when it suits you.
The teaching materials encompass:
- podcasts
- blogs
- discussion boards
- webinars
- videos
Your learning will be focused around tutor-delivered material, peer discussion, directed self-study and assignments.
Assessment
Each module is assessed by written assignments and there are no exams.
Your assignments will be specific to your own setting so that you can demonstrate the application of theory, concepts, and principles to your own work-based practice.
We encourage you to self-evaluate and critically reflect on your learning with your tutor providing feedback on your self-evaluation as well as your final assignment.
You can work in your own time in accordance with your own schedule, working to the fixed final assessment deadline(s) for each module intake.
