BMSc Medical Education Intercalated

This one-year course from the University of Dundee focuses on building knowledge of medical education (intercalated) BMSc by gaining an understanding of the context of teaching others and educational research methodology.

Students will explore and evaluate the key principles of educational theory, including curriculum design and educational policy, teaching and assessment skills, and students will learn how to integrate and apply these theoretical elements to practice.

Peer learning and discussion will help students explore new ideas, reflect on experience and develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills. There are also opportunities to present at conferences, publish in peer-reviewed journals, attend local staff development courses, and work on collaborative projects with other institutions.

The University of Dundee is a public research university based in Dundee, Scotland. It was founded as a university college in 1881. The institution was, for most of its early existence, a constituent college of the University of St Andrews alongside United College and St Mary's College, located in the town of St Andrews itself. Following significant expansion, the University of Dundee gained independent university status by royal charter in 1967 while retaining elements of its ancient heritage and governance structure.

The main campus of the university is located in Dundee's West End, which contains many of the university's teaching and research facilities: the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee Law School and the Dundee Dental Hospital and School. The university has additional facilities at Ninewells Hospital, containing its School of Medicine; Perth Royal Infirmary, which houses a clinical research centre; and in Kirkcaldy, Fife, containing part of its School of Health Sciences.

The University of Dundee has its roots in the earlier university college based in Dundee and the University of St Andrews. During the 19th century, the growing population of Dundee significantly increased demand for the establishment of an institution of higher education in the city, and several organisations were established to promote this end, including a University Club in the city.
