DISSERTATION/REPORT
Your career Whilst many practitioners will continue to practise in their own health and
related professions, this award carries with it the opportunity to develop a
more formal role in undergraduate or postgraduate clinical and
professional education.
Employability
This is a new programme for UCL Medical School. However, our taught
Master's-level programme, Medical Education, has helped graduates to
attain high level posts as NHS consultants or academics in the university
setting. We anticipate that this programme will have similar outcomes and
enable graduates to secure educational posts in their own profession and
specialties.

discipline or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard, and
relevant professional experience in a clinical or educational setting.
English language proficiency level

will be expected to demonstrate evidence of an adequate level of English
proficiency.
The level of English language proficiency for this programme is:
