Summary
Develop a strong mathematical foundation in data science and statistics and apply your skills to help tackle global challenges in healthcare.
Data science and statistics are revolutionising healthcare. From improving our understanding of disease cause and progression, to influencing clinical and governmental decision-making, they are an increasingly important component of the modern healthcare system.
This course will equip you with the skills sought after by employers from pharmaceutical companies to hospitals and health analytics companies. You’ll study the fundamentals of data science and statistics, including key analytical methodologies such as machine learning and statistical modelling, alongside programming and data analysis skills in both Python and R. You’ll also gain extensive, hands-on practical experience in health applications through a bespoke year-long unit in Applied Health Data Science. This will equip you with the skills to interpret, analyse and evaluate real-life healthcare problems.
Course highlights - Benefit from multi-departmental expertise and ensure you’re up to date with the latest advances in each field.
-
Stand out when applying for jobs by gaining a strong foundation in both data science and statistics, opening up a wide range of careers in healthcare and other sectors.
