HEALTH ANALYTICS
Provided by FINISTECH, the MSc in Health Analytics programme offers advanced postgraduate education that applies cutting-edge data science and quantitative methods to transform healthcare delivery, public health decision-making, and clinical outcomes. In an era where healthcare generates vast amounts of data—from electronic health records and genomic sequences to wearable devices and population health surveys—the ability to extract actionable insights from complex health datasets has become crucial for improving patient care, optimising health systems, and advancing medical research.
Health analytics sits at the powerful intersection of healthcare, data science, and technology. This program equips you with advanced skills in health data analysis, machine learning, and health informatics to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing modern healthcare: predicting disease outbreaks, personalising treatment plans, reducing hospital readmissions, identifying health disparities, and optimising healthcare resource allocation. Through rigorous training in statistical methods, computational techniques, and domain-specific health knowledge, graduates emerge as data-savvy professionals who can bridge the gap between raw health data and evidence-based decisions.
Our comprehensive curriculum emphasises practical, hands-on skills for analysing complex health datasets using state-of-the-art tools and methodologies. Students master large-scale data analysis, health informatics systems, decision support technologies, and predictive modelling applications across public health and hospital settings. From developing machine learning algorithms that predict patient deterioration to creating data visualizations that inform policymakers, our graduates are prepared to lead the data-driven transformation of healthcare systems locally and globally.
Our MSc Health Analytics curriculum integrates advanced quantitative methods with healthcare domain knowledge:
If you’re a health data analyst, epidemiologist, or biostatistician looking to master advanced machine learning and predictive modelling techniques, this is the ideal degree for you.
Perfect for physicians, nurses, public health officers, and clinical researchers who want to leverage data science to improve patient outcomes and population health.
Excellent choice for health IT professionals, clinical informaticians, and systems analysts seeking to deepen their analytical and statistical capabilities.
