Structure

Six compulsory modules
Two option modules
Research dissertation

Compulsory/Core modules

Epidemiology and Statistics

The module will include case studies to explore contemporary policy debates and the influence of quantitative research studies on public health and primary care policy and government intervention programmes. The advantages and disadvantages of different study designs and their application to different research questions will be covered. Students will gain skills in summarising quantitative data, including routine morbidity and mortality measures and interpreting the results of commonly used statistical techniques.

Further epidemiology & statistics for health data scientist

This module will provide an introduction to epidemiology and statistics with a focus on quantitative analytic approaches. Develop the knowledge and understanding necessary to design, analyse and interpret epidemiological studies with an application to public health and clinical practice. Gain practical skills in using statistical software to clean data, perform statistical analyses and display data. Learn to interpret findings crucial for evidence-based healthcare research, critically evaluate research and contribute to advancements in public health. This module equips students with the expertise to tackle complex health challenges through advanced epidemiological approaches and statistical modelling.

Effective and Efficient Evaluation

The module will introduce learners to principles of effective and efficient evaluation, exploring different uses of health data in evaluation, for example in recruitment, or to measure outcomes. It will cover research designs that use health data or can be conducted within health data, including randomised controlled trials, cluster-randomised and stepped-wedge designs, trials-within-cohorts/registries, interrupted-time-series, systematic reviews. Cost-effective analyses and ethics of evaluation will also be covered.

Analysis of Electronic Health Records

This course will equip students with practical skills for analysing routinely collected electronic health records (EHRs) data. During the course, the students will learn about the provenance of EHRs data, how to identify exposures and outcomes, how to apply analytical approaches in EHRs data, and how to conduct research studies using EHRs. The course will focus on a range of techniques for answering causal questions in EHRs such as propensity score methods, trial emulation, and case-only designs. The course will also cover developing and evaluating risk prediction models to support clinical decision-making, and provide hands-on experience with real-world EHRs data throughout.

Dissertation

In this module, students will work on a piece of independently produced research relevant to one of the programmes four scientific themes (Human-Data Interaction, Health Data in Practice, Effective and Efficient Evaluation, and Actionable Information). Students will be assisted in topic choice and guided through the process by one of the scientific theme leads but will be expected to collect data themselves, or organise access to it, and write the thesis independently. Potential topics will be identified in consultation with scientific theme leads and other academic staff involved with the programme, and a list will be made available early in Semester 2. The scientific theme leads will endeavour to facilitate student preferences. Some topics may be broad enough to accommodate more than one student at a time.

Health Data in Practice

The module provides an introduction to health data in practice with a focus on health care delivery challenges and patient and population health outcomes from an interdisciplinary perspective. It will provide students with a grounding in legal and ethical frameworks governing health data access and use, and the role of patient, health professional and public engagement for delivering the full potential of health data sciences for public benefit.

Applied Research Methods 1: Theory

This module provides an introductory grounding in global health or mental health research methods, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to understand, evaluate, and apply key methodological approaches in the disciplines. ARM 1 covers both quantitative and qualitative research designs, examining the theoretical foundations of each and the contexts in which they are most appropriate. Throughout the module, theoretical concepts are reinforced through critical appraisal of subject-relevant research studies, enabling students to assess methodological strengths and weaknesses and to appreciate the practical and ethical implications of research design choices.

Elective modules

This module will examine the theories and evidence underpinning social inequalities in health (defined as the unfair and avoidable differences in health status). It will consider structural/material and psychosocial theories, and hypothesis about social drift, self-selection, and genetics. Attention is given to the WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health. Sources of data and measurement of scale of inequalities between and within groups are addressed. The module will consider association with income and distribution of money, resources, and power at global, national, and local level. Policy interventions and their different approaches will be explored including universal and targeted or selective approaches to reducing inequalities by reducing the inequitable distribution of power, money, and resources.

Health Systems Policy and Practice

In this module we address the fundamental public health question of how best to finance and organise health systems in order to achieve universal health coverage and the effective delivery of comprehensive PHC. We will be particularly concerned with the ways in which health care systems differ from the perspective of access to services among different social groups within the population, and also with the distributive effects of different organising principles such as market and public control. The relationship between health systems and the Primary Health Care Approach will be covered, as well as key debates around the interface between aid, global health governance and national health systems. This module will also cover the essential economic theories used to inform health systems policy.

Health Economic Analyses

The module will introduce learners to key microeconomic concepts and principles, their relevance to the health economy and the need for alternative approaches to priority setting and resource allocation. The module will then discuss key health economic analytical frameworks to inform resource allocation in health, exploring methods of economic evaluation, health policy evaluation, economic analysis of public health interventions, and analysis of inequalities in health and health care. Throughout the module, the focus will be on developing learners' ability to critically appraise, conceptualize, design, and carry out appropriate health economic analyses.

This module explores patient-generated data from health social media, teaching students how to collect and analyse such data to gain a deeper understanding of patient perspectives, social determinants, and unmet needs behind numerical data. By leveraging health social media analytics, students will uncover insights into patient care experiences, identify opportunities for quality improvement, monitor real-world health events, explore inequalities, evaluate drug safety, and assess perceptions that may influence patient engagement with health services and self-care practices. Methodological approaches include qualitative and quantitative analytics tailored to health social media data, with a focus on ethics and information governance. Clinical and public health applications emphasise understanding patients' perspectives to improve patient care.

Qualitative Methods for Health Research

This module will introduce learners to the principles of interpretive research and to a broad range of qualitative research practice including: interviews; focus groups; ethnographic approaches; participatory research methods; qualitative synthesis; mixed- methods designs. The importance of integrating theory and ensuring ethical practice in the design, conduct and analysis of research will be emphasised throughout. The module will lead learners through the research cycle from formulation of research idea to ensuring research impact with a focus on learning-by-doing and improving reflective practice.

If you study full-time, you will take 3 compulsory modules and 1 elective module from a selection in each semester. If you study part-time, this will be spread across the two years.
