This fast-track Masters is for you. Taught in our £4.5 million Centre of Excellence for Data Science, Artificial Intelligence and Modelling (DAIM), our MSc offers a fast-track to career success in this dynamic field. A revolution is underway in the healthcare sector.

Increasingly data science and artificial intelligence are automating tasks that used to take a long time to implement by hand. This degree will teach you how to optimise processes within the sector and you will learn from experts who have careers in the same. Data is one of the 21st century’s most valuable commodities.

Understanding how to analyse, validate and interpret it to inform decision-making are key skills in just about every walk of life. As a conversion degree, you do not need a science background. And the knowledge you gain will help you build a portfolio that will launch you into the field of data science, acquiring highly sought after skills that will greatly enhance your career pathway.

The programme will cover topics such as, programming, statistics, machine learning, data visualisation and computer vision and the ethical and legal responsibilities of using data. This health variant will include bespoke modules covering medical imaging, how artificial intelligence can work hand-in-hand with humans in a healthcare and clinical setting and with real-world healthcare challenges. In the third semester, you will have the opportunity to choose or design your own research project in a disciplinary area which can relate to your background or career goals.

Alternatively, there may also be opportunity to undertake a project working with an industry partner such as our connections to the local NHS providers in Castle Hill Teaching Hospital.
