Careers and employability

The final project on the MSc programme is your chance to conduct in-depth and independent research on a topic that is of direct interest to you and your career goals.

Alumni of the programmes have gone on to take up roles as clinical trial coordinators, or have taken on graduate roles in healthcare companies. Some have become medical and science writers, begun marketing and communications roles or become research scientists in the academic or industry sector. Some students have returned to their clinical work/study and others are pursuing a career as independent scientific investigators. Graduates have also enrolled in PhD studies or gone on to medical school.

During your studies you will have access to support at every stage in your degree, including one-to-one academic guidance, tailored workshops and external guest speakers.
