• Objectives
  The programme aims to provide training in technologies across the range of Informatics applied to Bioscience and Healthcare. Skills developed on the programmes range from the analysis of genotypes and gene expression data to advanced image processing techniques, advanced information management, clinical terminology, and healthcare records.
• Entry requirements
  Entry requirements: The Masters programme is open to students with first or good second class honours degrees in Computer Science, Medicine, Nursing, Biology, Bioinformatics or other Life Science discipline or from a joint programme with at least 50% Computer Science or Life Science content, or any overseas equivalent. Other educational backgrounds e.g. a mathematical science with sufficient computing content will be considered. An honours degree in another subject together with sufficient relevant industrial/health experience is also acceptable. Applicants without a UK equivalent honours degree, but with sufficient relevant industrial and educational experience, will be considered for admission. Although the optional modules include some focussed on developing software programming skills, both these and the programme as a whole require that all students already possess a basic level of programming skill and practical experience.
