About this course

Why choose this course?

Biomedical informatics focuses on the systematic processing of information in healthcare – from e-booking to patient records, from digital picture archiving to clinical decision support systems.

This course is ideal if you’d like to apply your computing skills within the healthcare sector, using technology to improve health and patient care.

Teaching takes place at the medical school of St George's, University of London in Tooting, south-west London. This gives you the opportunity to study on a hospital-based campus, and gain first-hand experience of how informatics is used in practice.

What will you study?

You will gain an understanding of how technology in healthcare can improve patient safety, how computerised medical records can be used in chronic disease management and public health, and how the fields of genetics and bioinformatics have developed and can be applied to clinical data.
