Introduction
Healthcare research is rapidly growing with an increasing demand to identify the mechanisms of pathophysiology of disease and demonstrate proof-of-concept evidence of the efficacy and importance of new discoveries and treatments. Furthermore, theres a need to test new technologies and therapies in clinical trials for better clinical care outcomes for patients. Subsequently, we offer a great opportunity for graduates who can undertake basic and clinical research and translate it into improved medical treatments for patients. This Master of Science programme in Biomedical and Clinical Research programme provides a strong learning environment for such graduates.
Who is the programme for
The MSc in Biomedical and Clinical Research is a research-intensive programme designed for students seeking to excel in academic research, clinical translation, clinical trials and the life sciences industry. This programme provides rigorous training in advanced research methodologies, critical analysis and innovative thinking – equipping graduates to tackle the most pressing biomedical and clinical challenges of the 21st century. With a string emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration, the programme welcomes students from diverse backgrounds including biomedical sciences, medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy and allied health specialities. Participants will engage in cutting-edge research projects, working alongside leading academics and clinicians to translate scientific discoveries into meaningful healthcare advancements. For medical and dental students, this MSc can be pursued as an intercalated degree, enhancing both research and clinical expertise. Additionally, the programme serves as a springboard for PhD , positioning graduates for leadership roles in biomedical innovation, clinical trials, and translational medicine.
Who we are
The MSc in Biomedical and Clinical Research is provided by the Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine (WWIEM). The Institutes mission is the pursuit of scientific breakthroughs in understanding mechanisms of disease to improve health outcomes, and its vision is to be an international hub of excellence in innovation and discovery to cure disease and improve health. WWIEM is strategically placed to provide expertise for the Institute for Research Excellence in Advanced Clinical Healthcare (iREACH) centre, based at QUB. iREACH brings together the expertise of clinicians, life scientists and data scientists with experienced industry partners in a collaborative approach to clinical trial delivery.
