Students
Students are at the core of our priorities and we aim to enrich the learning , teaching and the overall academic experience for them . We appreciate that postgraduate students come to us with a whole host of skills , experiences and knowledge that they have acquired from a previous undergraduate degree or work experience . We anticipate students will draw on this to enhance both their own learning and that of fellow students . The student is placed at the centre of the learning process and with guidance and the use of learning contracts is expected to take overall responsibility for their learning . These strategies will emphasise the development of critical , innovative and creative ways of thinking .
We attract students from across the globe , which facilitates wide-ranging discussion of health-related issues . Our courses are reviewed regularly and staff ensure that they take cognisance of developments in practice and UK and wider healthcare policies to ensure that courses are fit for purpose .
All students have the opportunity to undertake an independent piece of research , with staff supervision , as the culmination of their studies . Pre- Registration students typically select a laboratory-based or clinically based study that often fits the research programme of a member of staff . Post-Registration students typically develop a study pertinent to their own clinical practice and work setting . A number of our students have gone on to present their dissertation work at national and international conferences .

The majority of QMU staff are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council while other colleagues are registered with scientific bodies , and all the staff in the Division have extensive experience and expertise in their discipline and in health . Additionally , many staff members are active in research . A number of staff are active in professional and policy matters at both a local and national level and some staff are also practising clinicians .
