IMU’s one-year full-time Master in Health Informatics and Analytics programme – also available part-time – provides the perfect pathway for recent graduates or professionals from various areas who intend to move their career into this area of the healthcare sector. This is also an ideal programme for current health and social care practitioners who are looking to gain additional knowledge and skills in digital innovation.
Delivered by a multidisciplinary team of experts in computing and health-related disciplines, students in this programme will be able to learn about state-of-the-art technologies and systems, either related to IT (for example data analytics, mobile applications, sensors and wearables) or healthcare (for example electronic health records and remote monitoring).
The programme offers an accelerated, modular and blended learning to provide more flexibility to working professionals in the form of online study options. In order to ensure a rounded understanding of the issues to formulate intervention and value creation strategies in class simulation or actual industry-based intervention, students will have to undergo a robust curriculum that involves lectures, tutorials, case studies, written assignments, group projects, presentations and discussion boards.
Apart from online assessments, practical assignments, essays, reports and presentations, students who enrol in the Master programme will have to conduct a 10- week research project, write a dissertation and make a presentation of the findings and results.
