Artificial Intelligence and Medical Imaging MSc

About

About this degree

This MSc Programme covers the core technology, applications and state-of-the-art medical imaging technology and its computational analysis.

You will undertake a series of compulsory modules, designed to teach the core methods and techniques in both AI and Medical Imaging:

Programming foundations
Machine learning
Medical Imaging
Image processing

You will also undertake a research dissertation in these areas, giving the opportunity to put these skills into practice and gain exposure to clinically relevant problem domains.

You will further benefit from a range of optional and enrichment activities, enabling further study on:

Computing in medical physics and computer science departments
AI and computational modelling in surgery
Entrepreneurship in med-tech areas

Who this course is for

Suitable applicants will have a background in computer science, engineering or a related field, looking to deepen their knowledge and specialise in applying it to healthcare. This MSc is fitting for applicants who enjoy problem-solving or innovating and are interested in redefining what is possible in healthcare with the goal of improving patient lives through artificial intelligence and medical imaging.

What this course will give you

The MSc programme is offered by UCL's Department of Medical Physics & Biomedical Engineering: a hub for interdisciplinary research and collaborations between computer scientists, physicists, mechanical engineers, biomedical scientists and medical practitioners across UCL and its affiliated teaching hospitals. In joining this Department, you will benefit from our network of internationally leading research, learning directly from the research staff in this close-knit community.

This programme will provide you with a strong appreciation of how engineering drives technological, clinical and economic progress via developing, providing and maintaining infrastructure, products and services rooted on solid principles and realisation. It will provide you with the skills to devise systematic, pragmatic and creative engineering solutions to real-world problems and challenges. Not only will this programme prepare you for a successful career within the fields of engineering, healthcare and technology, but also careers in related fields such as entrepreneurship.

Read about what you'll get out of a graduate programme

The Artificial Intelligence and Medical Imaging MSc teaches the underlying concepts of Medical Imaging and Artificial Intelligence (AI), and how these technologies can be deployed in clinical environments, to help improve detection of disease and diagnosis from imaging data with the aim to enhance patient care.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics or related fields from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Undergraduate level knowledge in programming languages (such as Python or C++) is essential, demonstrated, e.g., by relevant courses or by an individual project they worked on during their UG. Undergraduate level knowledge of mathematics is also required, in algebra, analysis and probability. Applicants must show an interest in developing thinking and problem-solving skills.

English Program Requirements

The English language level for this programme is: Level 2
Overall score of 7.0 and a minimum of 6.5 in each component.

UCL Pre-Master's and Pre-sessional English courses are for international students who are aiming to study for a postgraduate degree at UCL. The courses will develop your academic English and academic skills required to succeed at postgraduate level.

Career

Globally, the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare settings is on the rise. Diagnostic workflows in the clinic and other healthcare settings rely on an ever-increasing amount of imaging data (x-ray, MRI, ultrasound, etc.) and their analysis puts time pressure on consultations. AI technologies are well-placed to ease the burden and provide faster and more accurate diagnoses. High-tech start-ups and established healthcare providers will need to recruit engineers with such skills to drive research and innovation in this emerging field.
