Entry requirements
We will require a personal statement detailing your reasons for seeking to study Health Data Science. If you come from a health / life sciences background, this should demonstrate an ability, interest, or understanding of what this highly technical discipline involves. The first term of the course has two separate tracks to adapt to your prior knowledge of coding and data science.
You will have, or be predicted, at least a 2:2 degree in a strongly numerate subject (e.g. computer science, mathematics, physics), or a health/life sciences degree – prior coding skills are not required. Alternatively you will have demonstrably strong skills in maths, computing or engineering, but not necessarily a degree.
