Location of Cranfield University
In the 21st century, clinical research is conducted on a truly global stage. Alongside this globalisation comes a responsibility to ensure that an organisation provides a consistent approach and service - no matter where in the world it is being delivered.
Today's clinical research personnel must demonstrate knowledge of national, European and international legislation, in order that required standards are achieved, whilst the safety and well-being of subjects are maintained.
For companies to remain competitive and successful in this global market, they must significantly reduce the time it takes for products to reach the market - a strategy best achieved through employing highly qualified and well-trained professional staff.
This Clinical Research Executive MSc course has been developed in collaboration with the Institute of Clinical Research (ICR) in order to ensure that all of these requirements are being met by emerging practitioners.The credibility afforded to the course, through Cranfield´s industrially focused reputation and the ICR´s experience as an organisation at the forefront of clinical research, ensures that your ability to work to industry standards will be formally recognised by employers and colleagues alike.
This course is ideal for those already working in a clinical research environment who would like to obtain a formal qualification and is specially designed to support those who need to fit study into their working life. Past students have been from both small and large pharmaceutical organisations and contract research companies as well as NHS facilities.
Contents
The MSc comprises eight-modules, an integrating portfolio and a research project and thesis. Modules are delivered in up to five two and a half day sessions per year. Candidates are required to attend at least four of the eight modules in the first year, with the remaining modules taken over the following 1 or 2 years. These modules are campus based, unlike similar courses offered elsewhere which are usually by distance learning, so you will receive strong support from fellow students and peers and direct access to teaching staff. Examinations are taken at the end of the final year.

Introduction to Clinical Trials and Clinical Trial Practice
Drivers of the Drug Discovery and Development Process
Business Management and Health Economics
Analysis and Interpretation of Published Information
Research Givernance and Ethics
