Course summary

Tackle real-world health challenges with data-driven insight. This conversion course equips you with the analytical and technical skills to interpret complex health data, from clinical research to public health. Learn to apply cutting-edge tools and methods that are transforming healthcare, policy, and patient outcomes. From personalised medicine to smart cities and sustainable solutions, data science is building a better world. At the same time, developments in technology have made the field of data science more accessible than ever, creating new opportunities to gain insight into the interactions between people and their environment - nowhere is this more true that in the health sector where the effective use of data is playing a vital role in tailored care for individuals and in improving health outcomes for the public as a whole. Drawing on this, we have created the Master of Data Science (Health), a conversion course that opens up a future in data science even if your first degree is in a non-quantitative subject. You will learn from practising researchers who are making a difference across a range of industries. Shared core modules across the suite of MDS courses will equip you with general data science skills and an understanding of how to apply those skills effectively, while subject-specific modules focus on the complex data and specialist methods used in the health system. It is equally suitable whether you are planning to use quantitative analysis in a research capacity or if you are a health or social care graduate who wants to develop transferable data and modelling analysis skills for the workplace. The course culminates in the research project, an in-depth investigation into an area of interest in which you apply the skills you’ve learned during the course to a specific topic or issue in health or social care.
