Why Lancaster?
Why should I study Clinical Research?
Advances in treatments, therapies and healthcare are only possible with clinical research. Research is the gateway to possibility – transforming hypotheses and ideas into robust, tried and tested treatments that can be rolled out to communities with confidence.
Clinical research helps us understand what works and what doesn’t, identifying more effective and efficient treatments while highlighting important side effects and safety considerations.
This MSc is the third in our suite of clinical research courses. We also offer the following:

You will have the opportunity to develop and undertake a supervised, practice-based project, using your enhanced knowledge and skills to delve deeper into a topic you’re passionate about – ranging from biostatistics and epidemiology to public health, palliative care or the social and ethical aspects of health and medicine.
