Pathways

The University of Melbourne’s Excellence in Clinical Teaching (EXCITE) program is a highly flexible suite of courses, designed for versatility. You can progress from a one-year Graduate Certificate in Clinical Teaching to a Master of Clinical Education, or apply directly to the Masters and exit early with a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma.

• Graduate Certificate in Clinical Teaching
• Graduate Diploma in Clinical Education
• Master of Clinical Education.

As an EXCITE graduate, you will be a leader in developing and evaluating educational quality in your organisation.

With a further year of part-time study, you can progress from the Graduate Certificate in Clinical Teaching to a Graduate Diploma in Clinical Education, and with a further two years, you can acquire a Master of Clinical Education, which includes a research project tailored to your field of work.

The Masters is also a recognised platform of research training from which you could pursue ongoing research at a PhD level with the Department of Medical Education.
