Diagnostics, Data and Digital Health (Medical Diagnostics) PGDip

University of Warwick

Technological advances, increased expectations for medicine, longer life expectancy, along with legal, ethical and economic factors have led to a vast expansion in medical imaging and diagnostics. There is an increasing need for digital healthcare solutions to meet the changing needs and expectations of patients. Our MSc Diagnostics, Data and Digital Health (Medical Diagnostics) will train students in the theory and practical implementation of cutting-edge diagnostic approaches and expose them to established, as well as emerging, applications using data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning. Choosing the Medical Diagnostics pathway allows students with an interest in those specific areas to further specialise by undertaking two additional subject-specific core modules. This course is part of the University’s flagship ‘Science for Sustainable Futures’ portfolio – an interdisciplinary initiative designed to address global challenges through innovative education. With core material delivered by leading experts from the School of Engineering, Warwick Medical School, and WMG, the course offers a truly cross-disciplinary experience. By learning across traditional subject boundaries and honing both critical thinking and practical skills, students will gain the advanced knowledge and applied insight sought after by industry leaders and employers across sectors. After graduation students will be well equipped for further study (PhD) in areas of critical scientific and technological importance, or for employment in a broad range of industries such as diagnostics and pharmaceutical industries, life science and clinical trials companies, health-tech SMEs, as well as research organisations. The MSc can be studied part-time over two years to suit those in employment. PG Diploma and Certificate options are also available for those who would like to take a subset of modules.
