MARS Institute , Limited Cohort Launch
CPD UK Certified Programme

You have the degree.
The industry doesn't see it.

The only biostatistics diploma built inside a working CRO where your clinical background is an asset, not an obstacle, and every dataset mirrors a real trial we've run.

The Problem

Why talented clinicians stay invisible to industry

  • → You know statistics, but employers ask for SAPs, SARs, and TLFs. Nobody taught you those exist.
  • → You learned SPSS. The industry runs entirely on R.
  • → Every course gave you theory. Nobody gave you massive hands-on practice on real-complexity data.
  • → Courses treat you like a computer scientist. But you think in patients, endpoints, and therapeutic areas.
  • → Practice datasets are toy examples completely disconnected from clinical reality.

Jakleen Rasmy
🇪🇬 Egypt, ClinMax CRO
Data Science Lead, ClinMax CRO

What MARS teaches you is not just how to run a test in R. It is how to think like a biostatistician inside a clinical research organisation. That shift is what opens the doors.

Career Outcome
Data Science Lead at ClinMax CRO. Moved from clinical knowledge to industry-grade data science leadership.
Is This For You?

Built for professionals who already have the foundation.

🏥
MD or PhD Holder
You have clinical depth but statistics lived in academia. This bridges it to industry-grade deliverables.
💊
Pharmacist or PharmD
You understand drug mechanisms and trial endpoints. This gives you the biostatistics credential to match.
📊
R User Lacking Confidence
You have used R but feel uncertain. This structures your thinking and gives you clinical context and professional outputs.
🔬
Clinical Researcher
You are in a CRO or hospital research setting and want the structured credential that accelerates progression.
📝
Systematic Reviewer
You understand PICO and methodology but cannot translate that into a CRO or pharma role without an industry credential.

Dr. Nouran Hamza has nearly two decades of experience in clinical research and biostatistics. She is the founder of MARS Global, EMS, and CRK-CRO, three companies built from the ground up inside the clinical research industry.

She built this diploma in 2016 because she saw the same gap repeatedly: talented clinicians with strong academic backgrounds who could not translate that knowledge into industry-grade work.

She is joined by a teaching team of clinical research professionals who review projects, run live sessions, and maintain the graduate Telegram community: warm, direct, and deeply committed to your success.

FAQ

Your questions, answered.

No. The first module starts completely from scratch. Many of our graduates had never opened R before starting. The programme takes you from zero to professional-grade R workflows by Module 3.
Yes, significantly. Many graduates had been using R for 1 to 2 years before joining and discovered major gaps in structured thinking, clinical framing, and professional outputs like SAPs and TLFs.
The diploma runs for 6 months. Lectures are recorded and self-paced, but the cohort structure includes live Q&A sessions, project deadlines, and community interaction that keeps you accountable and on track.
R and Posit Cloud (formerly RStudio Cloud), both free. You will be guided through setup at the very beginning. No paid software is required at any point.
Real clinical trial data is confidential by law, which is why every other course uses toy datasets disconnected from clinical reality. MARS is a working clinical research company. Our practice datasets are built from real CRO scenarios we have lived.

The next cohort is now open.

Maximum 20 seats. Once the cohort is full, registration closes. Do not wait for the right moment. This is it.
