The Master's Program in Clinical Research (MPCR) at Dresden International University is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the methodology and practice of clinical research. Our program creates an international platform for medical scientists that emphasizes teamwork, creativity, out-of-the-box thinking, and multidisciplinary collaboration. With our strong partnership with Harvard University, we recognize the grades of the international nine-month distance-learning program "Principles and Practice of Clinical Research (PPCR)"* offered by the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, allowing graduates of the PPCR course to directly continue with our Master's program and shorten their study time. Our program provides students with the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of clinical research and prepares them for a successful career in the field. Upon completion of the program, students will receive the academic title of Master of Science (M. Sc.) from the Dresden International University. Our program is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to advance in their careers and make a positive impact in the field of clinical research. At Dresden International University, our approach to teaching is centered on collaboration and active learning. Our lecturers work closely with students to generate new ideas and research questions, while also helping to develop individual skills and thinking strategies. This close, open relationship between students and teachers not only fosters a deeper understanding of the subject matter but also creates a valuable professional network for our students. Our curriculum is built on a solid theoretical foundation but also places a strong emphasis on the practical application of clinical research. Our students are trained to negotiate contracts, independently develop and implement clinical research projects, and evaluate the potential risks and benefits of their projects. This approach ensures that our students are well-prepared to succeed in the field of clinical research after graduation.
