What do the teaching blocks (TB) mean?
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.
All units in this programme are must pass. For the definition of must pass units please see the Glossary of Terms from Annex 1 to the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
