Enhanced Extended Master of Science - Health Informatics

The Extended Masters and Enhanced Extended Masters programmes at the University of West London are intended for students who already have an undergraduate degree but do not meet the entry requirements to study for a Masters degree. Over a full-time semester, students will study four modules specially designed to improve their academic and English language skills:

• Advanced Study Skills • Critical Thinking, Analysis and Evaluation • Statistics • English (Business English on the Enhanced course)

The Enhanced Extended Masters is similar to the Extended Masters, but with a greater focus on improving students’ English skills. It also includes a Business English module, which will allow students to gain a full understanding of this critical subject area.

Once completed, students will progress directly onto the core Masters course.

The MSc Health Informatics at the University of West London has been structured to reflect the needs of the modern healthcare sector, enabling students to develop a professional understanding of how data, information, knowledge and technology are used in healthcare.

Students will study healthcare information systems, knowledge and data management, as well as leadership and management skills.

The course develops transferable skills that can be applied in healthcare and beyond, including big data integration, cloud computing and cyber security.

The dissertation provides an opportunity for students to focus on a specific area of interest and apply their learning in a practical context.

Throughout the course, students are supported by experienced tutors and have access to high-quality facilities such as PC and Mac suites, a Robotics lab and a Digital Futures Lab.

Students also benefit from industry partnerships developed by the School of Computing and Engineering, including links with companies such as Amazon.
