Course summary

Study clinical trials fully online over one, two, or up to five years - you can learn from anywhere in the world. Gain comprehensive skills in designing, conducting, analysing, and reporting clinical trials, to play a key role in advancing medical innovations. Whether starting your career or seeking leadership opportunities, this MSc offers an ideal opportunity. Clinical trials are essential in discovering whether new healthcare interventions (new medicines, medical devices, lifestyle, behaviours etc.) improve outcomes for patients and the public. The Clinical Trials MSc draws on real trial examples, including the latest developments in cancer, infectious diseases, cognitive health, neuroscience, women’s health, and primary care. You will develop skills in all stages of the trial lifecycle (design, conduct, analysis and reporting) and explore the methodology underpinning each stage. As a graduate of this course, you will have the knowledge and skills required to lead, design and undertake clinical trials which maximise participant safety and data integrity. The course content is regularly updated to keep up with the latest developments in this rapidly evolving field, for example, you will explore how technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, In Silico trials etc have the potential to be used in clinical trials to help to accelerate the development of new interventions and about the importance of conducting efficient and sustainable clinical trials. The fully online format means you can study alongside your work and personal responsibilities, as all of our teaching and assessments are done online. Our curriculum is designed using globally applicable clinical trials and international guidelines. This ensures the content is relevant to where you live and work. The course is primarily aimed at graduates from life sciences and related disciplines including medical, nursing, dental, pharmacy, and other healthcare fields. It’s also ideal for health professionals and those already working in clinical trials who want to enhance their knowledge, skills and leadership potential. Our distance learning format means you can join us from anywhere in the world. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.
