Employability
There is an increasing demand for individuals who can understand and manage information and information systems as well as analyse and interpret complex data in industry, public health sector and academia.
This programme offers a unique blend of training in applied statistics and health informatics science to enable graduates for roles in this rapidly emerging field of data-intensive medical research. Upon completion, you will have a solid understanding of the methodologies and application that are relevant to design and implement clinical research studies that take advantage of the increasing availability of multimodal and big data. This will include health data acquisition, storage, interoperability, data analyses, and interpretation and communication of findings. Postgraduate qualifications are often required to progress to senior positions.
Our course will help you to develop your career in the medical research and health sector, including public health service (NHS), pharmaceutical and computer companies, technology start-ups, government agencies as well as academia, and other scientific organizations. Knowledge of applied statistical modelling and data science will also open careers in other sectors such as banking, marketing, insurance, and consulting. It will also provide a strong foundation for students interested in obtaining a PhD in biostatistics, data science, psychology, medicine, or informatics with an emphasis on applications in health science.
