MSc Health Data Science

Gain cutting edge skills in the field of health-related data; a rapidly growing area in which the UK excels with access to the largest biobanks, genomic and health services resources. You will be taught by world-leading academics in genomics, epidemiology and health services research from mathematics, computer science and biomedical backgrounds Flexible, interdisciplinary course designed for both applicants with quantitative skills interested in health, and students from a health background interested in data science Opportunities for real-world research project opportunities with the NHS, pharmaceutical and health data companies This course offers on employable, transferrable skills and focuses on Python – a coding language used across the technology space

You will have, or be predicted, at least a 2:2 degree in a strongly numerate subject (e.g. computer science, mathematics, physics), or a health/life sciences degree – prior coding skills are not required. Alternatively you will have demonstrably strong skills in maths, computing or engineering, but not necessarily a degree.We will require a personal statement detailing your reasons for seeking to study Health Data Science. If you come from a health / life sciences background, this should demonstrate an ability, interest, or understanding of what this highly technical discipline involves. The first term of the course has two separate tracks to adapt to your prior knowledge of coding and data science.
