What students have said:.
'Choosing to study the Masters in Clinical Research at King’s is a decision I won’t regret! I previously completed my BSc in Mental Health Nursing here and was very excited to return to the fun and friendly faculty. The teaching and academic staff have always encouraged me to take my ideas further, for example, they supported me with publishing a paper in an academic journal. I have particularly enjoyed designing and undertaking my own clinical research and have used my Masters degree to continue to study at PhD level here at the faculty
