Diagnostics, Data and Digital Health at University of Warwick - UCAS

Course summary

Explore the design, development and application of medical imaging and diagnostic techniques for the screening, detection, diagnosis and monitoring of diseases. 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 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. 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.
