Health Informatics MSc

UCL (University College London)

This course is jointly run by the two largest teams in health informatics in the UK – UCL and the University of Manchester. Through this course, you will gain insights into the design and implementation of the digital systems used to deliver healthcare today. Get to grips with the technical detail behind approaches to software engineering, and learn how to implement different systems, as well as supporting change. You will also acquire skills in analysing and presenting data. The course is supported by the NHS Graduate Management Training Scheme and other employers. You will join a cohort from diverse educational and technical backgrounds. This multidisciplinary learning environment is one of the key strengths of this course. The course is delivered through a mix of face-to-face teaching and online learning, designed to fit around your working life. We accept applications from people with a wide range of qualifications, and we consider professional experience if students do not have a relevant first degree. Students who wish to study full-time can take the course in one year but should be aware that they will be taking modules that are largely delivered online. You will gain specialist expertise in a field that is having a tangible impact on improving healthcare in the UK and internationally. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.
