Course content

Are you a healthcare professional ready to take your career to the next level? If so, our Postgraduate Certificate in Health Research is specifically designed to meet the needs of both clinical and non-clinical professionals.

This versatile, multi-professional programme equips you with essential knowledge and practical skills in health research, whilst also giving you the flexibility to customise your learning through a wide range of optional modules. You'll gain the tools to drive better healthcare outcomes, improve patient well-being, and shape the future of health and care policy.

Your studies will emphasise the analysis and evaluation of research context, the experience of research participants, and the design and delivery of effective health research and research-related activity.

Built on the latest research capability frameworks, including the NHSE Multi-professional Practice-based Research Capabilities Framework (2024) and the NIHR Research Practice Experience Capabilities in Practice (2023), this programme delivers exactly what today's healthcare sector demands. We've also incorporated valuable insights from internal and external stakeholders to ensure maximum relevance and impact.

This fully online, part-time programme offers maximum flexibility—whether you're in the UK or abroad. You can choose to study individual modules as standalone Continuous Professional Development (CPD), with the option to import these into the part-time MSc within five years.
