The Pears Cumbria School of Medicine (PCSM) is a pioneering collaboration between Imperial College London and the University of Cumbria, bring world-class medical education to a newly established medical school in Carlisle. Our unique four-year graduate entry programme, launched in August 2025, aims to fully support and prepare students for the demands of learning, assessment and their ongoing medical careers. We have created a bespoke and detailed curriculum and learning programme which is underpinned by a relational data model and associated processes., You will develop a deep understanding of the existing processes with a view to continual monitoring and improvement for efficiency and accuracy. You will become familiar with how the academic programme is structured and have technical responsibility for the management and dissemination of the underlying curriculum data, through creation and maintenance of reports.

The current data ecosystem is fully functional and in everyday use. It comprises elements of PowerQuery in Microsoft Excel, dataflows and PowerBI; PowerBI dashboard and reports; and customised reports in Report Builder. As our curriculum adapts and expands, and as Microsoft solutions change, each of these require upgrade and maintenance.
