Summary

Health data plays a critical role in the effective management of healthcare services and big data is revolutionising medical and public health research. If you're a graduate with a passion to improve healthcare through data mining and analysis, the University of Bolton's MSc in Health Analytics and Technologies will support you in developing a breadth of in-depth knowledge and practical capability, ready for a career in this rapidly developing field.

Healthcare providers seek to streamline healthcare processes and maximise patient and user experience. Governments need to make life-saving public health predictions. Digital technologies are accelerating discoveries by medical research organisations. All these organisations need highly skilled professionals to process and interrogate healthcare data to identify trends, patterns, and root causes. By studying the University of Bolton's MSc Health Analytics and Technologies degree you can develop essential knowledge and understanding of data analysis methods and the associated technological principles and practices while experiencing life at our supportive, student-focused, multicultural campus.

A distinctive feature of this programme is the development of essential computer programming and data analytics skills; no prior expertise is assumed. We offer the knowledge and skills needed to interrogate and make sense of data, unlock vital insights and communicate your discoveries, so you can help turn healthcare data into actionable insights that support good decision-making in the health sector. Our expert and dedicated team will cover essential computing, data analytics, business, marketing, and life skills, including leadership, advanced analysis, creativity and problem-solving techniques. We'll support you as you learn to provide insight and analysis through clear visual, written and verbal communication.

Within each module, we'll explore relevant issues, strategies and practices, using live case studies, guest speakers from industry, and the latest research evidence. You'll have a choice of option modules covering specialist topics, and you'll agree on a capstone project with your supervisors that is completely tailored to your experience and specialism.

We focus on helping you develop industry-relevant knowledge and skills so that you are well-prepared for a career in healthcare data analytics and technologies. We'll also support you in building lifelong learning skills so you can take ownership of your professional development for the future and maximise your potential for success.
