  • help scientists understand their data
  • forecast patient outcomes

This programme offers great flexibility, allowing you to design a degree to match your interests and career goals. You can personalise your studies by choosing from a broad range of modules and you’ll benefit from our diverse research expertise.

You can explore topics such as:
  • decision modelling for health data science
  • medical statistics and health data science
  • experimental design
  • clinical trials
  • survival analysis
  • time series analysis
To personalise your degree, you can choose between two dissertation modules:

Industrial dissertation: Work with a business to solve a real-world data science problem using your new skills.
