The Master of Science in Health Data Science will prepare you to find the right data, unlock hidden insights and use this information to better support clinical care, inform health policy and improve population health.

The two-year Master of Science in Health Data Science (Extension) builds upon this, offering an opportunity to dive deeper into different aspects and applications of Health Data Science through a research dissertation or a work placement. This research can involve analysing big data to solve health issues or involve the development of health-related data driven application. You’ll be perfectly positioned to pursue a PhD in Health Data Science to further advance your career.
