MSc
Summary
This flexible online programme will provide you with an excellent grounding in statistics for clinical trials. You will learn about all types of trials, from early to late phase trials and simple to complex interventions, from both a design and analysis perspective. You will also learn to code in R and STATA. Graduates of this programme will be prepared to pursue meaningful careers in the academic field, industry, or further study at PhD level. Clinicians taking this programme will be equipped with essential, in-demand skills to be involved in clinical trials and fully engage with statisticians.
Level | RQF Level 7 |

Summary
Statistics is a fundamental discipline in clinical trials. Statisticians ensure that study designs are statistically robust so that research questions can be answered. They carry out statistical tests, and assess uncertainty in the results, to determine whether the data support the research hypotheses. The field of clinical trials itself is expanding given the constant progress in biomedical research, including molecularly targeted therapies in cancer, and messenger RNA technologies in vaccines, to cite two exciting examples of recent years.
