The degree programme in Medical Education (MME) aims to professionalize the teaching offered as part of medical degree programmes. Participants in the course consider topics including the development of a teaching schedule, communication, teaching and assessment, educational research, leadership and faculty development, as well as the evaluation of medical facilities.


The course is based on five fundamental principles:  

  • Inter-faculty collaboration
  • Shared development of curricula
  • Teaching which reflects multiple perspectives
  • Modules which build on one another (learning spiral)
  • Integrated modules (longitudinal)
In order to ensure that the course encourages collaboration between faculties, and supports teaching from multiple perspectives, each module is taught by a team of three lecturers, each of whom comes from a different faculty. In the majority of cases, lecturers have completed the MME programme. In addition to this, visiting professors lend an international perspective.
