Master of Science [M.Sc] [Health Care Research Methods] From Queen Mary, University of London

Over the last 30 years healthcare research and drug development have been transformed from peripheral activities carried out on an ad hoc basis to a core activity that requires trained, professional, staff. We have developed a modular postgraduate programme in healthcare research, designed to give you the necessary academic background and specialist skills to carry out healthcare research in a contract research organisation, pharmaceutical industry or health service environment.

If you are a graduate, nurse, medical doctor or other health professional working in contract research organisations, the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare, this programme has been designed for you.

This programme will:

• Give you an understanding of the regulatory framework governing good clinical research
• Allow you to apply the principles that you have learnt to your professional commitments
• Contribute to the research culture and knowledge base in healthcare
• Give you the knowledge to solve problems in healthcare practice
• Develop your skills in gathering, recording and communicating information.
