The courses encourage you to plan, conduct, analyse and write up clinical researchin the context of your professional role. You’ll learn about and develop clinical research in your workplace. This is the most valuable way of consolidating the theory you’ll learn on the course.
To do this you will need to nominate a workplace mentor. They will provide professional and specialist advice and guidance. They’ll also support your studies, maintaining academic and clinical links throughout the course.
Our courses will equip you with the skills to perform to a high level in the clinical research world. Many of our students go on to publish in peer reviewed journals. An excellent example is physiotherapist Annie Ross, who studied for a MClinRes though distance learning, and recently published in the online Physiotherapy Journal.
Academics, researchers and NHS clinicians deliver the course. They all have active research programmes in ageing, cellular medicine and neuroscience. We also have tutors from NHS research and development teams and local clinical research networks:
Our modules are online, so you can choose to study any time, anywhere. This flexibility ensures that you can fit your studies around other commitments. You’ll also develop your online literacy as a transferable skill. We offer a range of modules and pathways to choose from so that you can gain the research skills you require.
We’ll give you an email address and account on Blackboard, our managed learning environment. Blackboard is accessible across a variety of operating systems and browsers. Our course materials are also accessible across a variety of devices including:
You don’t need to attend any classes on campus. Instead you’ll need access to a computer, internet connection, webcam, headset and printer. Recommended specifications:
As part of the course you’ll take part in ‘Good Clinical Practice’ training. This is mandatory for professionals who conduct clinical research. If you can prove that you’ve already completed this training you won’t need to repeat it.
Our PGDip and MClinRes courses have two pathways leading to different awards in:
2:2 honours degree in a relevant subject, an MBBS, BDS, or international equivalent. You also need to have a workplace mentor to support you in your studies.
We also consider professionals who have an appropriate degree, or equivalent professional qualifications. You must work in a relevant field and have two years’ post-qualification experience.
If you are applying for the accelerated programmes, you will only be considered if there is evidence of significant experience within the field of research and/or if you hold a degree classification of a first or 2:1 honours degree or equivalent. If you are in full-time employment you will also be invited to discuss with a selector the programme requirements together with your motivation, commitment and potential for study at masters level.
