Why study Medical Data Science in Nijmegen?
Do you want to become a medical data scientist and contribute to the future of healthcare and biomedical research? Learn how to combine data science with biomedical knowledge to improve and innovate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
The Master Medical Data Science in Nijmegen is a collaboration between the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Medical Sciences at Radboud University. Research and education are closely connected to clinical practice and patient-centered innovation.
Radboud University is internationally recognized for its expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science. In addition, Radboud university medical center (Radboudumc) hosts extensive clinical research programmes and infrastructures that use large-scale medical datasets for diagnosis, treatment, and scientific research.
In this programme, you combine advanced knowledge of data science and artificial intelligence with hands-on experience in the biomedical field. You will also explore the legal and ethical frameworks that govern the use of data science in healthcare.
From day one, you will work with diverse types of medical data. Embedded in a real healthcare environment, you will gain insight into the needs of healthcare professionals, biomedical researchers, and patients, and learn how data science tools can be successfully implemented in practice.
A distinctive feature of the programme is its focus on planetary health, an increasingly important topic in a sector responsible for more than 7% of national CO₂ emissions.
