Systematic reviews and meta-analysis 

Systematic reviews provide the foundation for evidence-based decision making.

The course is equivalent to the Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis module in the MSc Clinical Epidemiology and requires students to successfully complete formative and summative assessments
