For complete and up-to-date information about this course, please visit the relevant University of Oxford course page via www.graduate.ox.ac.uk/ucas. The Oxford EPSRC CDT in Health Data Science offers opportunities for doctoral study in computational statistics, machine learning and data engineering within the context of ethically-responsible health research. This course is taking part in a continuing pilot programme to improve the selection procedure for graduate applications, in order to ensure that all candidates are evaluated fairly. For this course, the socio-economic data you provide in the application form will be used to contextualise the shortlisting and decision-making processes where it has been provided. The Oxford EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Health Data Science offers a four-year doctoral programme, beginning with the training year, which consists of two terms of intensive training in core data science principles and techniques followed by a third term where students undertake two 8-week research placements in two of their chosen research areas. It is expected that one of these projects will become the basis of the student’s doctoral research, carried out in the following three years. Taught modules and subsequent research supervision are provided by leading academics from the departments of Computer Science (the host department), Statistics, Engineering Science, the Nuffield Department of Medicine, and the Nuffield Department of Population Health. The first year taught modules include:
- Data Governance
- Computational Statistics
- Modern Statistical Methods
- Machine Learning
- Medical Imaging
- Deep Learning
- Epidemiology and Clinical Trials
- Research Software Engineering
- Wearables
- Ethics of Health Data Science
- Data & Process Modelling
- Databases
- Infectious Disease Epidemiology
- Pathogen Evolution and Phylodynamics
- Translational Data Science
- Genetics
- Electronic Patient Records.
