This health variant will include bespoke modules covering medical imaging, how artificial intelligence can work hand-in-hand with humans in a healthcare and clinical setting and with real-world healthcare challenges. In the third semester, you will have the opportunity to choose or design your own research project in a disciplinary area which can relate to your background or career goals.
