The course enables you to develop a detailed understanding of biostatistics, epidemiology, data management, clinical trials, clinical measurement, ethical practice, systematic reviews and meta-analysis, and critical appraisal of the scientific literature for application in research and clinical practice. To ensure depth of understanding, as well as providing a valuable opportunity to innovate within your particular fields, you have the option to develop your own research protocol and undertake a clinical epidemiological project. The course structure and flexibility assists you to extend, integrate and apply your core knowledge and skills with depth across the broad domain of clinical practice and research, something that you want in a highly competitive industry and that employers have identified as important.
