Digital Health MSc

Be part of a digital health-ready workforce as the global market expands to reach a predicted £408 billion by 2025. Our online taught, PGCert, PGDip and MSc Digital Health courses, will equip you to work in the digitally-literate healthcare organisations of the 21st century.

It’s becoming increasingly important for doctors and healthcare professionals to be able to exploit digital opportunities in healthcare - improving patient outcomes, delivering safe care more efficiently and effectively, and bridging the gap between health and social care teams.

We’ll equip you with the knowledge and skills you’ll need to capitalise on digital health technologies to deliver community healthcare, particularly to disadvantaged, remote and rural patients, in a way that minimises risk while maximising access.

This course is delivered through distance learning, so you'll engage in a range of lectures, discussions and tutorials within an online environment.
