MSc Health Data Science

This programme, supported by Health Data Research UK (HDR UK), aims to train a new generation of world-leading health data scientists, to work in both the public and private sector. Teaching will focus on building strong quantitative, computational and practical data management skills, while providing opportunities to develop key professional skills required to be a successful health data scientist.

Health Data Science is an emerging discipline, combining mathematics, statistics, epidemiology and informatics. This programme will equip graduates with the tools and skills to manage and analyse very large diverse datasets across healthcare systems.

The programme will enable you to:

• apply statistical and machine learning approaches to analyse health-related data
• acquire the tools and skills to manage very large diverse datasets across healthcare systems
• develop the professional skills – including teamwork, project management, and presentation skills – to work as a successful data scientist in the public or private sector
• understand the varied roles of a health data scientist within the wider health and health research environment
• learn about the key sources of health data, and the context in which these data are collected, implications of the context on issues such as data quality, accessibility, bias and the appropriateness of use to address specific questions
• study the key issues related to ethics, security and information governance

Support and partnerships

This programme is supported by Health Data Research UK – the national institute for health data science. 

The programme will be delivered with the support of a number of partners, drawn from across the health data science landscape, including international healthcare consultancies (IQVIA, Panalgo), pharmaceutical companies (GSK), multinational technology companies (Microsoft Research), health-tech SMEs (Biosensors Beyond Borders), governmental agencies (National Institute for Health Protection), and national clinical audit providers (Royal College of Surgeons – Clinical Effectiveness Unit, Intensive Care National Audit & Research Centre and Deloitte).

These partners will help ensure that our programme fits the needs of prospective employers, both within academia and in industry. They will help us offer students on this programme hands-on experience with data arising from the whole health spectrum, from the molecular to the population.

Duration: one year full-time; part-time or split-study over two years. Ways to study explained.

Do you want to better understand the causes of disease and identify new ways to prevent, treat and cure disease?

The increasing amounts of electronically captured and stored health related data provide enormous opportunities to achieve these goals. Making optimal use of these data requires people with wide-ranging expertise in areas including statistics, programming, informatics and epidemiology.

Health Data Science at LSHTM

LSHTM is a world leader in the use of health data for research, with expertise in the creation, linkage and analysis of a wide range of data sources, encompassing data on environmental and social factors as well as ‘omic data, both human and pathogen. In addition, LSHTM has global reach and a large international network of partnerships enabling data science collaborations worldwide.

Our electronic health records (EHR) work encompasses pharmacoepidemiology, phenotyping, vaccine effectiveness/safety, health policy assessment, and infectious disease surveillance. We have expertise in using national audits for quality improvement, and developing NHS performance indicators. Our work is underpinned by an internationally recognised group of biostatistical methodologists.

Is this the right programme for me?

Medical Statistics, Epidemiology, and Health Data Science are closely related disciplines. We offer Master's degrees in each of these disciplines. Here are some of the differences in emphasis between them:

• MSc Health Data Science
  • explores a range of machine learning techniques
  • has a greater focus on computational data skills, including programming and tools for data management
  • has a greater focus on professional skills training (e.g. teamwork, project management, presentation skills)

• MSc Medical Statistics
  • has a greater focus on the theoretical underpinnings of the statistical methods studied
  • explores study design, for both clinical trials and observational studies
  • includes a more in-depth exploration of certain statistical methods (e.g. models for hierarchical data)
• MSc Epidemiology
  • has a greater focus on developing the research question
  • includes an in-depth exploration of study design, protocol development and conducting appropriate statistical analyses
  • emphasises the ability to critically appraise studies and interpret results
  • offers the opportunity to learn about concepts and techniques specific to the study of infectious diseases

What are my career prospects as a health data scientist?

The demand for well-trained health data scientists is high and likely to increase over time. We anticipate our graduates may pursue careers in:

• National health services
• The pharmaceutical industry
• Contract research organisations
• Governmental institutions (such as the Health Protection Agency and the World Health Organization)
• Non-governmental organisations
• Health-tech SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises)
• Academia

The below structure outlines the proposed modules for this programme. Programme and module specifications provide full details about the aims and objectives of each module, what you will study and how the module is assessed.

Teaching methods

As well as traditional lectures followed by problem-based practical sessions, with or without computers, teaching will include:

• Flipped classroom approaches where students are provided with materials to read/watch independently, followed by formative assessment in class to assess understanding (e.g. via Moodle-based multiple choice questions), allowing contact time to focus on practical problem-based learning.
   
• Interactive lectorials, alternating lecture-based and hands-on practical sessions.
   
• Panel discussions and workshops, to stimulate debate particularly for current live controversies such as the ethics of algorithms.
   
• Teamwork, particularly in the team-based module and the datathon.
   
• Opportunities to develop and practice professional skills, including a range of student-led presentations, modules which require student teams to interact with a client (someone who is not a data scientist working outside of the LSHTM who wishes to “employ” our students to address a particular research question).

Changes to the programme

LSHTM will seek to deliver this programme in accordance with the description set out on this programme page. However, there may be situations in which it is desirable or necessary for LSHTM to make changes in course provision, either before or after registration.

In order to be admitted to an LSHTM master's degree programme, an applicant must:

• hold either a first degree at Second Class Honours (2:2) standard in a relevant discipline, or a degree in medicine recognised by the UK General Medical Council (GMC) for the purposes of practising medicine in the UK, or another degree of equivalent standard awarded by an overseas institution recognised by UK ENIC or the GMC.

or

• hold a professional qualification appropriate to the programme of study to be followed obtained by written examinations and judged by LSHTM to be equivalent to a Second Class Honours (2:2) degree or above.

or

• have relevant professional experience or training which is judged by LSHTM to be equivalent to a Second Class Honours (2:2) degree or above.

If you have not previously studied in the UK, you can check our guide to international equivalent qualifications for our master's degrees.

Relevant subjects and appropriate qualifications for the MSc Health Data Science include mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering and computer science. Other life science qualifications will be considered subject to evidence within transcripts of sufficient quantitative exposure (please make this evidence clear within the application).
