This programme employs a comprehensive range of active learning methodologies prioritising engagement, practical application, and personal growth.

Students engage in problem-based learning (PBL), simulations, role-playing, and collaborative projects, all aimed at developing the competencies needed for high-quality education and patient care.

Reflective practice is also central, encouraging students to assess their progress, identify growth areas, and make adjustments throughout their learning journey.

Evaluation methods align closely with these active teaching strategies. Each course employs assessments that measure knowledge, practical skills, and critical thinking.

Electronic portfolios allow students to track their progress, document their learning, and receive structured feedback from mentors and instructors.

Individualised mentoring sessions offer guidance from research design to project development, with feedback integral to the learning process.

This reflective and supportive environment cultivates high professionalism, ensuring students develop as self-sufficient, lifelong learners.
