In the era of evidence based medicine, the need for accurate information to inform the design and execution of clinical trials is more important than ever before.

This MSc is unique in its field and has been designed to equip students with the balance of skills and knowledge required to manage information efficiently and effectively in the healthcare sector. The course content is relevant to clinical research practice within the public and private sector, enabling better management of study information from design to completion.
