Overview

Technological advances, increased expectations for medicine, longer life expectancy and legal, ethical and economic factors have led to a vast expansion in medical imaging and diagnostics. There is an increasing need for digital-based healthcare solutions to meet the changing needs and expectations of patients.

Our MSc in Diagnostics, Data and Digital Health will train students in the theory and practical implementation of cutting-edge diagnostic and imaging technologies and expose them to established, as well as emerging, applications using data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning. Choosing the Medical Imaging or Medical Diagnostics pathways allows students with an interest in a specific area to further specialise by undertaking two additional subject-specific core modules.

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.

Modules

Core Modules

Core material will cover requirements for product and technology development, including ethics and regulatory aspects, technical and commercial skills in medical imaging and diagnostics technologies in advancing 21-st century healthcare in the years to come.

Choosing the Medical Imaging or Medical Diagnostics pathways allows students with an interest in a specific area to further specialise by undertaking two additional subject-specific core modules.

Optional Modules

Optional modules allow the selection of complementary topics of particular interest to the student.

Group Research Project

A collaborative group research project, which parallels the way that diagnostics and imaging experts work in industry, will allow students to integrate their knowledge and understanding in order to solve a problem.

Individual Research Project

Students will also complete an individual research project in their chosen area of specialism.

Research

Research

Health is one of the University of Warwick’s Global Research Priorities.

Our MSc in Diagnostics, Data and Digital Health is underpinned by Warwick’s world-leading research in digital health, biomechanics, biomaterials, systems biology and medicine, medical imaging, biomedical signal processing, healthcare technologies, telemedicine, medical sensors and diagnostics, and many other relevant topics.

The contributing departments (School of Engineering, WMG and Warwick Medical School), alongside the Health GRP, work closely with industry experts in the aforementioned themes. The programme also benefits from strong connections with the National Health Service, the pharmaceutical industry, governmental organisations (such as NHS, WHO etc) and health-tech SMEs.
