We are now welcoming students with an interest in health technologies, a multi-disciplinary MSc by Research area for graduates from a range of backgrounds such as computing, cyber security, games technologies and engineering to healthcare, nursing and psychology. This exciting subject area benefits from our partnership with the local NHS trust as well as support from the Faculty of Clinical Informatics in the UK. As a research degree candidate, you’ll be supported by a supervisory team with expertise in your subject and/or research approach. A research degree will open the door to work in full-time research or teaching, or provide a greater understanding of professional practice.
