Postgraduate Certificate Studentship (Teaching Internship) in Veterinary Education. (MED1525)

Background:

The School of Veterinary Medicine and Science at the University of Nottingham was the first brand new, purpose-built veterinary school in the UK for over 50 years and it is our intent to make significant leading contributions to both veterinary research and teaching within the context of valid relevance and application to the wider veterinary profession.

Project description:

Are you a veterinary surgeon with a passion for teaching, wishing to enhance your skills in a dynamic and supportive environment? If so, a funded studentship with stipend and fees could be the perfect career move!

The School of Veterinary Medicine and Science at Sutton Bonington has developed an exciting 12 month postgraduate certificate programme for new and recent graduates to develop teaching skills. There may also be opportunities to develop clinical skills with our clinical associate practices.

This programme is a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in pursuing a career in veterinary education or who wishes to broaden their skill set and enhance their employability. Training in teaching methods, learning and assessment in the veterinary undergraduate curriculum is provided through an experiential programme supervised by experienced veterinary academics and will present opportunities for engagement with all aspects of veterinary education including curriculum development, assessment, teaching delivery and resource development. As part of the Educational Research Group in the school, you will carry out a small project as part of a University PG Certificate qualification.

Funding:

One fully funded stipend per year is generally available.

A stipend of £14,057 (tax free) and paid fees is provided. However there are funding restrictions for non-EU applicants.
