Health Informatics focusses on the strategic application of information technology in healthcare settings. Encompassing areas such as data management, systems implementation and healthcare enhancement. This programme is designed for those seeking to bridge the gap between technology and healthcare delivery. Typical UK postgraduate entry requirements include an undergraduate degree in a relevant discipline and some programmes may also require a background in healthcare or information technology to ensure that students have a foundational understanding the subject.
This interdisciplinary approach prepares graduates to navigate the complex landscape of modern healthcare systems. It is an important role within healthcare; there are more than 20 UK universities which offer postgraduate courses.
A postgraduate degree in health informatics covers advanced topics such as data analytics, system implementation and healthcare information management. The course encourages intellectual curiosity and critical thinking and assessment on this programme may include coursework, examination, presentations and a final written research project.
