About the Programme
M. Sc. in Clinical Research is a two-year postgraduate programme that deals with the study of analyzing healthy and/or diseased human volunteers to generate information which can be used to obtain data that ultimately help in the treatment diagnosis prevention and relief in the symptoms of the disease.
This programme will broaden students horizon of knowledge on the subjects including clinical trials epidemiologic studies translational research behavioral science patient-oriented research and health service research.
In addition the programme will also enable students to analyze high-quality data and to develop reliable results for the key generation of evidence facilitating impetus for improving patient care. The programme helps students in gaining expertise in research and development processes to develop new applications to upgrade medical science.
The accurate balance of theoretical and practical sessions enable students to apply best of their knowledge and produce concrete results with learning.
