Course Overview

Bringing a new medicine to market is one of the most complex and regulated processes in healthcare.

On average, 1 out of 10,000 molecules reaches the market.

Clinical trials can span multiple countries and thousands of patients. Global clinical research is projected to grow rapidly due to increased R&D investment and new therapies.

This has created massive demand for skilled professionals in:

Clinical trials & research operations
Pharmacovigilance & drug safety
Medical affairs & regulatory roles
Pharmaceutical R&D support functions

However, most healthcare degrees do not teach the practical industry skills required for these careers.

This programme changes that.
