Why Lancaster?
Why 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.
Is a master’s in Clinical Research for me?
If you want to be behind breakthroughs in medical science, drive progress and ultimately improve health outcomes and quality of life, an MSc in Clinical Research will set you on the right path.
Available over one-year full time, or two- or three-years part time, this flexible programme enables you to study around your work and other commitments, supporting a healthy work-life balance.
It provides high-level training in advanced methodology, preparing you to conduct research thoroughly, reliably and ethically. You’ll learn how to interpret research findings and build important communication and presentation skills so you can make your case. With a focus on real-life application, you’ll look at how research can be translated into healthcare policy and practice – where it can make a real difference.
With plenty of optional modules to choose from, you can explore a range of specialities, including quality improvement, drug development, infectious disease modelling or spatial statistics.
Taught modules are delivered through whole-day sessions of face-to-face teaching, supported by flexible online resources, discussions and collaborations using our virtual learning environment.
During the programme, you’ll 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, from biostatistics and epidemiology to public health, to palliative care or social and ethical aspects of health and medicine.
