Summary
This course focuses on how information and information technology are used in the organisation and delivery of healthcare.
Our MSc in Health Informatics (jointly awarded by The University of Manchester and UCL) offers an innovative and exciting training in a uniquely challenging and important field.
Our blended learning MSc will equip you with the skills to work in this exciting field by providing:
-
a unique combination of personal learning, theoretical challenge and practical application;
-
blended approach which combines face-to-face contact and distance learning, harnessing the advantages of both across two campus;
-
flexible study allowing you to complete the programme full-time in one year, or flexibly over up to five years;
-
engagement with leading thinkers in the field across the UK and internationally;
-
participation in a thriving network of academics, clinicians and informatics professionals.
Our programme is suitable for health professionals currently in work or graduate students.
The University of Manchester and UCL are uniquely placed to provide the health informatics training required for a modern health service.
You will have access to the largest UK health informatics faculty, including researchers who develop and apply solutions in a range of healthcare settings and direct national programmes in research education/training.
In 2020 we have written a new textbook Developing Medical Apps and Health Interventions and have published core competencies for clinical informaticians across the UK with the Faculty of Clinical Informatics.
Both institutions sit in two of the largest regional health economies in the UK, hosting the greatest concentration of digital-led NHS programmes. Eight professors and 13 senior academics contribute to the programme, alongside NHS and industry professionals.
