Masters in Clinical Research - FULLY FUNDED


Information for managers

The UEA is proud to announce that they have been selected as one of 12 universities to offer Clinical Academic Training Studentships funded by the National Institute for Health Research Trainees Coordinating Centre.

Applications are being welcomed for a FULLY FUNDED Masters in clinical research. Successful candidates will have their tuition fees paid, as well their full SALARY costs being reimbursed to their employer so they can provide back fill.

The course consists of a taught element, covering topics such as writing research proposals, statistics, and qualitative and quantitative research methods. Participants then complete a research project, under the supervision of one of several leading healthcare researchers at the UEA alongside an existing project, or on a topic of their particular interest. UEA is ranked in the top 2% of institutions in the world, with nearly 90% of its research rated as "internationally excellent" in the latest (2008) Research Assessment Exercise.

The course delivers the perfect stepping stone into a clinical academic research career, providing the participant with the opportunity to develop their practice within their own locality.

Studentships are available to graduate (post-degree) nurses, midwives and allied health professionals (for eligibility see: http://www.nihrtcc.nhs.uk/cat/eligibility) who have at least one year's experience of clinical practice since graduating.

There are 12 places on the part-time course, which commences in April 2013, and 12 places on the full-time course, which commences in September 2013.
