Why Study Clinical Research Operations?
Are you interested in becoming a clinical trial manager, a health informatics research analyst or a clinical research associate? These careers and many more will be open to those who graduate from our new MSc in Clinical Research Operations. This course takes place over 12 months and offers a unique blend of clinical research and business technology skills.
Don’t have time to commit to full-time education? This course is perfect for you. It takes up just two evenings a week and an additional two Saturdays per month. Broken into two stages, stage one will see graduates complete a two-semester programme of lectures in Clinical Research (building up 60 ETCS Credits). On the completion of the first stage, students will already have earned a Postgraduate Diploma in Science in Clinical Research. This is followed by stage two, a one-semester dissertation that leads to you becoming a Master of Science in Clinical Research.
Semester one takes you through:
• Processes, production and pharmaceutical quality systems
• Pre-clinical research, regulatory and ethical requirements
• Principles of clinical research
While semester two consists of:
• Operational excellence & the science of innovation
• Strategy, leadership & the culture of innovation
• Managing a clinical research project
In semester three, you will focus on a range of research methods and the dissertation that will secure you that coveted MSc title and a whole range of new job prospects!
