UCL MSc Health Data Science

Just wondering if anyone on here takes this course. How are you finding it? What do you plan on doing after you finish studying? Is the job prospect good? Is it heavily mathematical? Also, what is the acceptance rate like?

Thank you!

I've got an offer from the course but spoke with some current students about it. I got very good feedback and general satisfaction from both the course and uni itself. Course really prepares you for a career in the field and most want to go into further research or a career in healthcare in analyst roles. From what I hear, the course is pretty competitive and difficult to get onto. Not sure of exact acceptance rates though. Hope this helps!

Did current student say how it is for people coming from a bioscience background with not a lot of statistics experience?

I didn’t ask that so I’m not sure. I’m from a slightly more numerical background, but from what I understand you need to have some sort of evidence you’re competent quantitively, alongside a “good” justification on why you would like to go into health-tech.
