Location of University of Brighton
The Institute of Postgraduate Medicine is undergoing organisational changes, including redeveloping some of our courses. Consequently a number of our courses, including this one, are not accepting applications for 2011.
Our intention is that the redeveloped courses will begin in September 2012. Please check back in early 2012 for new course information and entry requirements.
This course focuses on professional development topics which underpin and enhance professional health and social care practice. The core Personal Development module enables participants to decide which routes within the course are most appropriate to their individual professional progression.
Integrated within the university's health and social science graduate programme, the course provides valuable cross-disciplinary experience through common modules shared with other courses in the scheme.
Contents
Course structure
The PGCert requires completion of the Personal Development module plus two options; the PGDip, an additional two modules plus two others from the graduate programme; the MSc, the Research Methods module and a 16,000-word dissertation. Individual modules may be studied independently for continuing professional development.
These courses can be taken in conjunction with a PGCert in Health and Social Care Education or a Certificate in Management, the award title being augmented accordingly.
Areas of study
Although these courses emphasise professional development, clinical modules normally constitute about a third of the taught component.
