:: MPhil Health Sciences Education-programme

Health Sciences Education (HSE) is a fast growing knowledge field enjoying international interest and support.  Many individuals in Africa as well as South Africa pursue this as a profession.  Various institutions offer non credit bearing support programmes for their staff.

The Faculty of Health Sciences of the Stellenbosch University introduced the MPhil degree in HSE in 2008, in order to address the need for a post graduate qualification and to contribute to the body of knowledge, specifically in the African context.

The programme was developed by an interdisciplinary team, from the Faculties of Health Sciences and Education as well as the Centre for Teaching and Learning, with the focus on an interdisciplinary community based approach applicable to African circumstances.  Apart from one week contact time per year, the programme will be mainly technologically mediated.  Students will be assessed by means of assignments executed in the students' own working environment, making the theory and practice relevant and useful to their own circumstances.

Experts within the field of Health Sciences Education at the University of Stellenbosch will teach in this programme.  It will be done in close co-operation with and input by subject specialists in the Faculty of Education and the Centre for Teaching and Learning.
