Applicants for the PG Diploma must have successfully completed the PG Certificate in Teaching and Learning for Health Professionals.
The Diploma permits learners a greater degree of choice and specialisation and forms a bridge to the MSc where learners can pursue an educational research topic relevant to their own work place and academic interests. These stages are aimed at those with a developing interest in teaching, learning and assessment, and may be specialising or taking senior roles in educational practice, management and/or research.
Most Units at Diploma level have a value of 20 credits. Unit MEEDM001 is a core compulsory Unit. Students may complete the additional 40 credits required for the Diploma from other Diploma Units, but may, at the discretion of the Programme Director, choose Units of 10 credits from the Certificate stage of the Programme.
All units in this programme are must pass. For the definition of a must pass unit please see the Glossary of Terms from Annex 1 to the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes at http://www.bristol.ac.uk/esu/assessment/annex/glossary.html
