Why study this course with LJMU?

Our Postgraduate Certificates or PgCerts are a named award that allows you the opportunity to study masters level modules and receive a PgCert exit award in a specific area of practice relevant to your specialism or chosen area of development.

Our PgCerts are ideal if you:

• Would like to experience level 7 study in a particular area of practice without the commitment to a full masters award
• Are looking for specific areas of professional development or training
• Already have a masters and are looking to focus on specialist practice
• Want to undertake a masters eventually and gain credits that can be transferred into the masters award.

The PgCert Clinical Education is specifically tailored to focus on supporting and developing knowledge and understanding within the complexities of clinical education and supervision, innovation and educational developments and leadership.

The course aims to develop the underpinning principles, latest innovations and approaches to the concepts and challenges of healthcare and clinical education and leadership.
