“The Master of Clinical Research provided by the Medical University of Vienna is very comprehensive, yet very flexible. It covers all the aspects of conducting clinical research from drafting a project until publication. It is also led by very competent, cooperative and friendly team, knowing very well how to organise the courses to make it suitable for the needs of international students with their different backgrounds and perspectives.
It enriched my knowledge and opened new work opportunities for me.”
