EXPLORE DIGITAL-BASED HEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS TO MEET THE CHANGING NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS OF PATIENTS.

Technological advances, increased expectations for medicine, longer life expectancy and legal, ethical and economic factors have led to a vast expansion in medical imaging and diagnostics. There is an increasing need for digital-based healthcare solutions to meet the changing needs and expectations of patients.

Our MSc in Diagnostics, Data and Digital Health will train students in the theory and practical implementation of cutting-edge diagnostic and imaging technologies and expose them to established, as well as emerging, applications using data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning. Choosing the Medical Imaging or Medical Diagnostics pathways allows students with an interest in those specific areas to further specialise by undertaking two additional subject-specific core modules.

After graduation, students will be well equipped for further study (PhD) in areas of critical scientific and technological importance, or for employment in a broad range of industries such as diagnostics and pharmaceutical industries, life science and clinical trials companies, health-tech SMEs, as well as research organisations.

The MSc can be studied part-time over two years to suit those in employment. PG Diploma and Certificate options are also available for those who would like to take a subset of modules.

“Overall, the MSc Diagnostics, Data and Digital Health is an exciting curriculum that is attractive to potential applicants. The bringing together of broader diagnostics with a data/digital health slant is unique and fills an important niche.”
