Overview

The program for Master of Science in Clinical Research (Clin Res MSc) is a two-year graduate-degree program designed to provide candidates with in-depth knowledge and practical skills to plan and implement a clinical research program, and translate their research findings into actions that will inform clinical practice and improve health and patient outcomes. Students must complete all planned courses totaling 30 credit hours, and successfully defend their research thesis, for graduation. This comprises 17 credit hours of compulsory courses, 4 credit hours of elective courses, and 9 credit hours for the thesis research project. In addition to formal classroom teaching, students are expected to spend time on self-directed study and homework assignments. For every hour spent in the classroom, students should aim to spend two hours on self-directed study.
