Health Data Science for Applied Precision Medicine MSc

Course Overview

Precision medicine is an area of growing importance globally. It integrates genome and biomarker data with big data from healthcare to target safe, effective treatments to individual patients. Understanding why individuals differ in susceptibility to disease and response to treatment has clear benefits, as the global Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted. Youll access anonymized real healthcare data linked to genome and clinical imaging data, and use expertise from renowned biomedical scientists to gain applied skills and knowledge in the field. This unique bioresource, linked to medical records at the University of Dundee, has played a major role in globally significant research and continues to impact our understanding of Covid-19.

General Eligibility

You will need at least an upper second class degree in a relevant scientific discipline (for example biological or medical sciences), or an appropriate health professional qualification such as medicine and allied health professions. All prospective students will need to undergo a technical interview to ensure they have the necessary background knowledge to undertake the course.
