Specialist Diploma in Clinical Trials Management

Course Introduction

In 2000, the Economic Development Board (EDB) launched the Biomedical Sciences (BMS) initiative. As part of this initiative, EDB plans to build capabilities in translational and clinical research to bring discoveries from the bench to the bedside and the marketplace and ultimately improve human healthcare.   Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) has specially tailored the Specialist Diploma in Clinical Trials Management to provide participants with the ability to play critical roles in Clinical Trial operations. Emphasis is placed on hands-on application & case-based learning.

The 40 week part-time course provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of clinical trials through lectures, role-play, project work and practical sessions.
