Medical Education
The MPhil / PhD pathway in Medical Education is located within the Centre for Medical Education (C4ME) at the School of Medicine, Cardiff University.
Bringing together experienced doctors, nurses, psychologists, social scientists and educationalists, we ensure that the work of the school is based on strong pedagogical research foundations. Particularly suitable for those who have already completed a Postgraduate course in Medical Education (or equivalent), this is an excellent pathway to progress towards establishing a research portfolio in medical education.
Distinctive features
The Centre for Medical Education has a significant educational research profile. Academics and research staff from a variety of backgrounds contribute to our cross-disciplinary and wide-ranging educational research activities.
