The programme aims to develop future leaders in health data science. Its underlying philosophy is that health data science requires a combination of expertise spanning three fundamental areas: statistical, computational and health sciences. It includes one year of foundational training followed by a three-year thesis project. The programme is a collaboration between Health Data Research UK, The Alan Turing Institute and seven partner universities: the universities of Birmingham, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Manchester, Oxford, University College London, and Queen’s University Belfast. Students will be registered and based at one of the seven partner universities. Students have their tuition fees (UK Home rate), college fees (where applicable), research expenses and travel costs paid and receive an enhanced, tax-free stipend with increases every year. (Y1 outside London: £23,955, Y1 in London: £25,954).
