Warwick Medical School’s postgraduate level courses have been developed in response to changes in continuing professional development and are ideal for busy healthcare professionals who require the flexibility to study at a pace and level that suits their needs.

The Health Research programme provides training for those intending to go on to a career that includes health-related research. This includes those wanting to undertake high quality research as part of their professional practice in healthcare and those aiming for a PhD.

The programme is carefully structured, developed and delivered by experts in their field of research, often drawing on individual research experience. It covers research methods, statistics and broader research skills. You will learn to systematically review research literature, critically evaluate evidence, develop research questions and apply a range of research approaches and skills relevant to research in health sciences. If you choose to complete the full Masters qualification, you will conduct an independent piece of research on a health topic of your choice with the support of an experienced dissertation supervisor.
