Health data involves collecting, storing, analysing and sharing data to better understand disease and improve care. Combining the principles of statistics and computer science with health-related knowledge, you’ll be able to extract valuable insights from large-scale health data sets. You'll learn to develop predictive models that can aid in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases. Be involved in the projects that make headlines and discoveries that make history.
What I enjoyed the most was conducting a genome-wide study on real-life data from the UK Biobank, which I undertook as part of my dissertation. It was great to work with academics in and across departments on this project, learn valuable research skills and work on developing the research idea into a full publication.
