Duration:
1 years
Attendance:
Full Time
Award:
Degree of Master of Science MSC
School of Study:
Allied Health Professions

If you have an enquiring mind and a thirst for research, then this could be the course for you. A qualification in Clinical Research will give you the tools and skills to realise your own personal and professional goals. The NIHR Masters in Clinical Research teaches students how to link theory and method with the practical skills to design and carry out in-depth healthcare research, culminating in an opportunity to carry out a piece of individual research linked to UEA’s top academics. You will also be able to develop leadership qualities to help you deliver the best and most effective service, in whatever field of health care you operate. This course may be taken on a full or part time basis and is an ideal precursor to application for an NIHR Clinical Doctoral Research Fellowship. We are offering for 2013 a part time route starting in April and a full time route in September.

Applications for the part-time route are now closed, but we are accepting applications for the full-time route to start in September 2013.

Full time students will start in September 2013.
