Course summary

About the course

The Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) in Health Research is designed for medical and dental trainees with the potential to become independent researchers, and to be taken part-time alongside work commitments, normally over one or two years.

The Postgraduate Certificate in Health Research will help you to.

  • develop skills of research, design and data analysis in both qualitative and quantitative research;
  • critically evaluate health research;
  • apply the principles of evidence-based practice in health care settings;
  • plan how to implement the findings of research to improve health care; and
  • use theories and principles underpinning clinical research to inform your own research practice.

The course is delivered through the Department for Continuing Education, with the expertise in curriculum design and teaching drawn from the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine and the Clinical Academic Graduate School.

Assessment

The assessment for each module will be based on a written assignment of not more than 4,000 words.

Graduate destinations

Most who commence this course are already in employment within the health sector. The course offers opportunities for career enhancement through developing a better understanding of research tools and analytical skills, and of how to use these to inform research practice. Many also go on to study for the Postgraduate Diploma in Health Research or MSc in Evidence-Based Health Care.
