Professional Certificate in Clinical Research

The Professional Certificate award is an introductory postgraduate award that enables a small commitment to study, and a pathway to pursue more significant postgraduate study at a later date.

Full credit for completion of the Professional Certificate is given into the next level of award, that is, the Graduate Certificate in Clinical Research.

Graduates of the Professional Certificate in Clinical Research will have:

• An introduction to some of the methods and rationales of clinical research
• A basic understanding of the nomenclature and processes of study designs and analytic methods used in clinical research
• An ability to articulate their knowledge in an appropriate form
• An appreciation of how to create and acquire knowledge within their discipline

The Professional Certificate requires completion of 25 points of coursework, which is equivalent to two of the subjects listed below, one of which must be Clinical Research Context and Practice.

An undergraduate degree or equivalent qualification in medicine, an allied health profession, science or social science which is recognised by the University as evidence of adequate preparation for the course plus documented evidence of at least one year's full-time relevant professional work experience or doctoral study in a medical, scientific or allied health environment.
