Transform ground-breaking research into innovative clinical practice.
The MSc in Experimental and Translational Therapeutics is a flexible, part-time programme designed for healthcare professionals balancing demanding careers around the world. Delivered in collaboration between the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS) and Oxford Lifelong Learning, the course draws on the expertise of leading clinicians and scientists.
Structured as an advanced modular programme, it enables students to remain in full-time employment while building comprehensive knowledge of the drug development process – from early discovery to clinical application. Students join a diverse, international cohort and engage in interactive, in-person teaching, experiential learning, and peer-to-peer exchange.
With insights from experienced industry practitioners, participants develop a strong foundation in clinical research and learn to translate this knowledge into high-quality clinical and research practice.
