This programme covers computational and statistical methods applied to large and complex biomedical data in order to improve health and healthcare through medical research. As part of this programme, you will gain an understanding of techniques that are transforming medical research and creating exciting new commercial opportunities. The programme provides a good grounding in biomedical statistics and scientific programming for data management and analysis, and no prior knowledge is assumed. However, applicants should ensure that evidence of their readiness for this kind of training is clearly presented either through their educational history or in their personal statement. Applicants whose first degree has little, or no quantitative content are unlikely to be accepted.The programme is delivered by health informaticians, clinicians, statisticians, and computer scientists from UCL, including world-leading researchers in data science and biomedical informatics. You will learn about cutting-edge research projects. Programme content is aligned with the Health Data Research UK (HDR UK), the UK's national institute for health and biomedical informatics research. This MSc will draw on that collaboration, giving students access to the most advanced research in the field.
