The use of different technologies in healthcare is growing exponentially. This has led to a transformation in the approaches to health problems and challenges globally. Health technologies have been used to support diagnosing, treatment, and monitoring of different health conditions, as well as to protect the health sector from cyber threats and to improve quality of life for many people.

There is an urgent need for professionals in health technologies to support the development and implementation of different and emerging technologies within the health sector. Areas are needed, spanning, but not limited to, development of new systems, automation of clinical-related tasks, network management, cyber security, artificial intelligence, data analytics and support for medical image processing.

Health Technologies accommodates graduates from a range of areas, from healthcare, nursing, biology, and psychology to computing, cyber security, games, and engineering. Due to the research focus of this course, students will have the?opportunity to learn different skills?to support their work, bridging gaps in any area related to either health or technologies needed for completing your project.

This will be a?project-oriented?course, meaning that?instead of focusing on different modules and assignments, students will have the opportunity to work?with emerging issues in the health sector and apply their skills in the area from the beginning of the course.

Students will benefit from our partnership with the?local NHS trust?and interact with them to tackle current and real problems to support the challenges in the digital area in the NHS.

Join us and learn a multi-disciplinary degree that binds health and technology and support you with enhancing your employability and knowledge in an ever-growing area.
