Master of Science - Health Technology (L5901)

The use of digital technology in healthcare is growing at a rapid rate. These technologies are transforming the approach to healthcare challenges on a global scale. From diagnosing and monitoring diseases such as dementia to diabetes, to using smart technology to treat health conditions linked to current environmental threats, such as water and air pollution.

The MSc Health Technology caters to students from a broad range of disciplines, from healthcare and biomedical science to robotics and engineering. The University of the West of England is one of the first universities in the region to offer a degree of this kind.

This is a multi-disciplinary degree that bridges the gap between health and technology by blending both worlds. The course addresses an industry skills shortage for AI, cybersecurity and robotics in healthcare, providing the opportunity to enhance students' employability, as well as their knowledge.

The degree offers flexibility to choose from a diverse range of research projects, tailored to the students' interests.

The course is aimed at those with a health or science background, looking to develop a career in digital healthcare.

If the applicant is a current undergraduate student studying a science or health-related discipline, students will build on their existing degree in a new, future-focused direction.

Entrepreneurs or STEM and healthcare professionals can also benefit, advancing their career prospects through CPD and enterprise opportunities.

Develop real world, practical experience in the latest facilities, including the new engineering building and virtual simulation labs. By applying their knowledge, students will put theory into action and bring their passions to life.

Collaborating with the Health Tech Hub ensures their course content is up-to-date and adaptable to emerging technology trends. Students will also benefit from strong industry links on their doorstep, within Bristol's thriving technology centre.
