The Clinical Trials MSc draws on real trial examples from around the world to make the content practical and relevant for our global cohort of students.


You will develop skills across all stages of the trial lifecycle from design, through conduct, analysis and reporting, and explore the methodology underpinning each stage. The MSc also includes teaching on complementary methodologies, including observational studies, meta-analysis, and health economics, which can both inform and support the design and interpretation of clinical trials.


Upon graduation, you will have the knowledge and skills required to design, lead, and deliver clinical trials that maximise participant safety and ensure high-quality, reliable evidence, contributing effectively within multidisciplinary teams in roles aligned with your academic and professional training and interests.


The course content is regularly updated to reflect developments in this rapidly evolving field. For example, you will explore how approaches such as Artificial Intelligence and In Silico trials may be applied within clinical trials alongside the importance of conducting efficient and sustainable clinical trials.


The fully online format means you can study alongside your work and personal responsibilities, with all teaching and assessment delivered online. You also have the flexibility of studying over one, two or up to five years, so you can learn at your own pace and from anywhere in the world. Our curriculum is designed using globally relevant examples and international guidelines, ensuring the content is applicable to diverse settings worldwide.
