Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

The BSc (Hons) Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare explores the construction of artificial systems exhibiting intelligent behaviour and their application in healthcare. The programme equips students to use advanced science and data to support digital transformation within modern health services.

With the rapid evolution of healthcare technology, including e-referrals, the NHS app, and Covid-19 risk stratification, the course emphasises human-centred design, agility, and solutions-focused approaches. It integrates patient care, diagnosis, treatment, and pharmaceutical contexts within both clinical and AI environments. Students develop biomedical, physiological, and social understanding, alongside digital, clinical, and data skills essential for contributing to the healthcare sector’s ongoing digital transformation.

Learning is delivered through lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical sessions, and team-based activities. The Individual Project module encourages the practical application of research and innovation tools. Lecturers and tutors bring current research and industry expertise to the programme, providing fresh perspectives on healthcare challenges and the development of AI tools across domains, with opportunities for involvement in research projects.

Assessment methods are diverse, reflecting the course’s practical and theoretical balance. Modules are evaluated through coursework, portfolios, presentations, examinations, case studies, teamwork projects, and computer-based testing, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for the evolving AI-driven healthcare landscape.
