MSc in Clinical Trials alumni

Since 2020, we have taught over 100 students from 40 countries. We encourage all alumni to keep in touch after completing the MSc, and we have an alumni LinkedIn group to facilitate ongoing collaboration.

The course aims to expand students’ knowledge of clinical trials and apply this within their own careers. The student dissertation is a research proposal in the style of a grant application for a randomised trial which students can use or adapt in their post-MSc life as a clinical trialist.

The MSc is also a forum for the nurturing of future global leaders in clinical trials. One former student is now the Chief Medical Officer for a major division of a global medical devices company, and several students have already been awarded substantial grants to deliver trials they worked up during their time with us in Oxford. Another student has become president of their national cardiology society.

Trials granted funding

A number of alumni have had their trials accepted for funding following completion of the MSc, including:

  • IRON-PH: ~€1.5 million for trial testing IV iron in Pulmonary Hypertension in Belgium – Pieter Martens
  • DanRUSH: £0.6 million for comparison of high-sensitivity troponin measurement algorithms in Denmark – Manan Pareek
  • REPAIR CKD: funding for pilot study to treat hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease – Ditte Hansen

Keeping in touch

Alumni of the MSc in Clinical Trials are encouraged to join our LinkedIn group.

Alumni who may be interested in showcasing their achievements on the department’s website or giving an online talk to our current students should contact the Graduate Studies Office.

Alumni who are cardiologists, and other specialists managing vascular disease, are encouraged to join the European Heart Academy’s alumni community. In the past, this community has held talks and networking at the European Society of Cardiology Annual Congress.
