Universiteit Maastricht

Programme information

The Master of Health Professions Education (MHPE) provides the knowledge and skills relevant to a career in educational development in medical education.

The programme is open to students who have acquired a university degree in one of the health professions in their native country (e.g., health sciences, medicine, nursing, physiotherapy, dentistry, pharmacy, speech therapy), at a level equivalent to that of the Dutch degrees in these fields. In some cases graduates from a University of Applied Sciences are admissible.

The MHPE programme is a two-year half-time programme, mostly distance based. It is a modular curriculum with units lasting around eight weeks. Participants spend two full-time short periods in Maastricht. These two periods of three weeks are dedicated to educational activities.
