Why study Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the construction of artificial systems that have intelligent behaviour. You will be equipped to use leading-edge science and data to contribute to improving digital transformation in healthcare.

Modern health services have been transformed by e-referrals, the NHS app, and Covid 19 risk stratification. This course puts human-centred design, agility, and a solutions-focused approach at the heart of your learning.

You will consider patient care, diagnosis, treatment, and pharma links within the context of both a clinical and an AI environment. In a clinical and data setting, you will learn to develop biomedical, physiological, and social understanding and knowledge. You will also develop the digital, clinical, and data skills to ensure you can contribute to the digital transformation which will be at the heart of healthcare of the future.

This course will position you at the cutting edge of this graduate job market. You will graduate with the skills to tackle some of the biggest challenges in the study of human health and machine behaviour, whilst applying your knowledge to offer future-focused solutions.

Please note that our modules are subject to change - we review the content of our courses regularly, making changes where necessary to improve your experience and graduate prospects.

How you will learn

You’ll learn in different ways, including lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical sessions and team working. On the Individual Project module, you’ll be encouraged to use and apply research and innovation tools and approaches in a practical context.

You will learn from lecturers and tutors who are carrying out research designed to offer fresh perspectives on issues that are significant at every stage of life as well as those who develop and apply the latest AI tools in domains ranging from health to manufacturing. Your lecturers bring their latest thinking to your studies. And, in some cases, you’ll have opportunities to get involved in research projects yourself.

How you are assessed

A variety of assessment methods are used. Some modules are assessed through coursework only, others by a combination of:
