Programme handbook

Welcome to the University of Edinburgh and the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, Edinburgh Medical School. We are delighted to have you join us for the 2018/19 distance learning MSc/Diploma/Certificate programme in Clinical Trials. You are joining us in the 6^th year of this exciting and unique programme.

The programme is run by me, Professor Stuart Ralston, with the assistance of Michelle Evans (Programme Lead), Chris Sheridan (eLearning coordinator) and the MSc CT Teaching Team.

This programme aims to equip students with evidence-based conceptual and practical tools, to take an applied interdisciplinary approach to the conduct of safe and effective clinical trials.

Collectively, you bring a broad range of knowledge, skills and experiences that we hope you will share with your fellow students during your studies.  In doing so, you will contribute to strengthening the links between the many different disciplines working towards improving clinical trials in a global context.

We do hope that you will enjoy your time with us and that you will take full advantage of the many opportunities open to you.

Prof Stuart Ralston
