The Institute of Health Sciences Education (IHSE) is focused primarily on medical education and forms an integral part of Queen Mary University of London's Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. Our academic staff are leaders in curriculum design, delivery and assessment.
We have world-class facilities at our campuses across east and central London and our partner organisations where we teach our students.
Queen Mary was ranked in the top 100 in the world for medicine by the QS World University Rankings by subject 2026. Our medical research expertise is demonstrated by our ranking of 8th in the world for research citations (citations per paper) by QS World University Rankings by subject 2026.
For health professionals already working in the sector, we offer programmes in medical education, available to study at our campus in east London or online.
Our programmes
For healthcare professionals interested in education, we offer a Masters and Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education.
These programmes are designed for professionals looking for better ways to motivate and engage learners in medical education, improve teaching practice and develop the necessary expertise to lead education programmes in the clinical workplace.
Designed to fit around professionals’ busy working lives, you can start in January or September, and study in person or online on a part-time basis. The MA is also available to study full-time.
