This MRes is the entry point to the 4 year PhD Programme in Health Data in Practice, funded by the Wellcome Trust. Acceptance onto the MRes in Health Data in Practice constitutes entry onto the 4 year PhD programme in Health Data in Practice; progression to PhD requires successful (i.e. pass or above) completion of the MRes. This course is not currently available as a standalone MRes in Health Data in Practice.

Our Wellcome-funded doctoral training programme applies human-centred data research to health and care data, and will introduce you to a wider context for your research, enabling you to draw on concepts, disciplines and methods underpinning algorithmic designs, sensing and data capture, human-data interactions, qualitative and quantitative evaluation and decision-making, in real-world settings. You will develop as a future scientific leader able to apply interdisciplinary perspectives to your research and realise the potential of innovations in health data research for the benefit of patients, the public, health care systems, and society.

The Wellcome Trust Health Data in Practice programme combines scientific excellence with a commitment to improving the working environment and transition support for trainees.
