Programme handbook

The Masters in Clinical Trials (MScCT) programme aims to equip students with evidence-based conceptual and practical tools, to take a critical interdisciplinary approach to modern clinical trials.

The programme is designed both to provide an entry point to clinical trials practice and research for those new to the subject, but also to provide opportunities for existing clinical trials professionals to develop their career. The programme gives students the opportunity to acquire technical skills in a wide range of clinical trials-related disciplines, and also develop collaborative team-working, communication and research skills. The range of courses reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the subject.

The MScCT programme is one of a suite of postgraduate programmes delivered by the Usher Institute of Population Health Sciences and Informatics.
