Teaching resources

The faculty is regarded internationally as a leader in the design and development of educational technologies.

Our curricula are supported by a variety of innovative resources covering more than 80 topics in medicine and the health sciences. They are developed in collaboration with subject experts and professional multimedia designers and programmers and are based on a strong understanding of our students' learning needs.

The faculty has experience in assisting other institutions such as new medical schools that wish to establish a medical or physiotherapy (rehabilitation science) curriculum, established universities wanting to implement problem based learning and established health science schools seeking additional learning resources. Many of our resources are available for use under licence. View examples of our products.
