MEDICAL AND LIFE SCIENCES SINGLETON PARK CAMPUS
HEALTH INFORMATICS PGCert/ PGDip/MSc FT PT Government policies, professional bodies and European strategies have all made explicit reference to the need for healthcare staff with health informatics education and training to keep in line with new developments and the changing nature of new technology. This programme is designed for healthcare professionals and those who want to increase their knowledge and skills in health informatics, and is accredited by the UK Council for Health Informatics Professions (UKCHIP). Modules typically include: • Communications and Coding • Health Informatics in Context • Health Informatics Research • Knowledge Management • Leadership in Project Management • Research Dissertation or Work- based Project Portfolio • Systems and Technologies • Using Secondary Health Data Entry requirements Candidates with two years of relevant employment are welcomed, as well as graduates of a relevant discipline with a 2:2 honours, or an equivalent recognised qualification. MEDICAL RADIATION PHYSICS MSc FT PT The MSc in Medical Radiation Physics is designed to give engineering and physical sciences graduates the necessary theoretical knowledge and understanding of fundamental aspects of the use of radiation in medicine.
The programme benefits from clinical practice through hands-on instruction with equipment used routinely in the hospital setting, including state-of- the-art MRI and CT facilities, and medical linear accelerators, which will prepare you for research or clinical training in this rapidly changing field. It also includes computer-based modelling, research methodology and the ethical dimensions associated with medical research. This programme is accredited by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM).
Entry requirements Typically a 2:2 honours in a relevant subject such as biochemistry, genetics, pharmacology, pharmacy, medical biosciences or nursing.
IELTS: 7.0 or equivalent HEALTH DATA SCIENCE PGCert/PGDip/MSc FT PT Healthcare, with an already
established strong relationship with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), is continuously expanding the knowledge forefront as new methods of acquiring data concerning the health of human beings are developed. Processing this data to extract valuable information about a population (epidemiological applications) or the individual (personalised healthcare applications) is the work of health data scientists. Their work has the potential to improve quality of life on a large scale. Modules typically include: • Scientific Computing and Health Care • Health Data Modelling • Analysis of Linked Health Data • Machine Learning in Healthcare • Health Data Visualisation • Bioinformatics for Genome Analysis • Dissertation on a relevant health data science topic Entry requirements Candidates with two years of relevant employment are welcomed, as well as graduates of a relevant discipline with a 2:2 honours, or an equivalent recognised qualification.
Modules typically include: • Advanced Radiotherapy • Advanced Radiation Safety • Medical Imaging • Nanoscale Simulation • Nuclear Medicine and
Diagnostic Radiology • Radiotherapy Physics • Radiation Protection • Research Methods
• Research Project Entry requirements
Typically a 2:2 honours degree or equivalent in engineering or the physical science. NANOMEDICINE PGCert/ PGDip/MSc FT PT This innovative programme combines a multidisciplinary approach of nanotechnology and medical science that promises to bring significant advances in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease. This course is suitable for graduates with experience in disciplines of biology, life sciences or engineering who wish to develop their understanding
