This one-year Masters degree is the perfect conversion pathway for recent graduates looking to move into the health and care sector. It's also ideal for existing health and social care practitioners looking to up-skill in digital innovation and move into leadership and transformational roles.

What you'll study:
This course is unique in that it looks at the human, technology and system perspectives in a whole systems approach to transformation of digital health and care. It explores not just the clinical perspective but also social care, third sector and consumer care models. We'll consider how to incorporate codesign and implementation science throughout, to ensure adoption and success of future digital health solutions and services.

You'll study:

agile participatory and co-design approaches for delivering health and care IT solutions
practical and innovative software and data management techniques for managing (databases) and using data (data analytics) produced across a range of systems to support decision making, planning, and delivery of better care
how to manage complex legal, ethical and governance issues within healthcare
how to apply theories and models of human information behaviour to the holistic analysis and design of health and social care systems
how technology enabled health and care solutions can be implemented and evaluated at scale
The course also offers guest lectures from experts in the field. These include data scientists, systems developers and ehealth programme managers. You'll also gain hands-on practical projects in partnership with leading organisations. These include the National Health Service (NHS), Scottish Government, industry, third sector, and The Digital Health and Care Institute (DHI).

The course includes 120 credits of taught material taken over the first two semesters, and a 60-credit digital health project that runs, typically, from May to September. Your project will involve tackling real-world problems suggested by our partners.
