The Healthcare Technologies MSc/MRes will train students in healthcare engineering and build their clinical and industrial awareness of problems and solutions for technology in modern global healthcare. The MSc/MRes will prepare students for doctoral research degrees or employment in the healthcare sector.

Integrated Science (MSci) draws on an understanding of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths and Computing to address fundamental scientific questions about how the natural world works. Laboratory work and computing as a scientific tool form key parts of the course.

The Professional Doctorate in Information Science (DInfSci) is a doctoral degree programme which allows experienced information professionals to research issues which arise from the practice of Information Science. Through the critical review and systematic application of appropriate theories and research methods to professional work environments, this programme allows you to increase your knowledge about practice, develop new research findings and improve your professional competence.

This programme has been designed for experienced professionals working in senior roles within the information profession. It offers a flexible and supportive method of study that allows you to continue in work whilst you study, develop a research programme that informs and enhances your own area of work, and study with some of the top Information Science researchers in the word. The DInfSci can be completed from wherever you are in the world.

Our MSc Information Technology covers practical aspects of information systems development, modern management topics and professionalism in IT. If you already have experience of working in the IT industry, the course provides opportunities for broadening and deepening your knowledge and skills; if you do not have previous experience, it provides a platform for a career in the IT industry.

You will reach an advanced level of understanding of computers, computing, software development, and how to design and implement software systems. The course also covers the use of information systems in organisations, and the management of IT and information systems, and you will gain skills and knowledge in problem analysis, evaluation of technology options, systems development, technology-driven organisational change and technology-based innovation.

This course will provide you with the mix of technical skills, practical experience and theoretical understanding you need to launch a successful career in the fields of GIS, applied policy research or spatial data analysis.

You’ll develop a wide variety of knowledge in areas such as advanced spatial analysis, geovisualisation, policy applications of GIS in practice, and thematic mapping and cartogram creation.

The new FinTech sector is transforming the global financial services industry, which has increasing demand for advanced data analytics skills and knowledge.

Our MSc FinTech and Policy course will provide you with the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical skills to work as a professional within the financial services industry and regulatory organizations. Through a carefully selected mix of modules, you’ll obtain a solid understanding of financial regulation, technology, and law, while you learn how to navigate an increasingly complex, dynamic and global financial environment.

You’ll be taught by expert research-active academics in business and law, as well as numerous industry professionals, who will guide you through a forward-thinking and refreshing combination of academic theory and industry experience.

We were ranked 8th for business and economics in the UK and in the top 20 for law in the UK by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2021. We were also ranked 15th for employability in law in the Guardian University Guide 2021.

Are you working in healthcare and want to increase your knowledge and skills in health informatics? It’s one of the fastest growing areas in the UK and our MSc Health Informatics degree could increase your career prospects.

This course uses state- of- the- art technologies and has a strong focus on practical and analytical skills which you can apply in your working environment.  It is available as either a one year full time course or three years part time.

Through links with the NHS and organisations within the Life Science sector you’ll learn about new developments and the changing nature of technology within health informatics, which will place you at the forefront of this fast growing industry.

Learn how to design, evaluate and apply information technology systems in a business setting. You’ll take account of human, organisational and strategic factors.

You’ll develop your skills in:

exploring theories relating to IT management as an innovative resource

researching current practice

analysing IT system trends, methodologies and interfaces

communicating concepts, designs and evaluation within a technical environment.

You’ll be taught by the Department of Informatics and the Department of Business and Management at the University of Sussex Business School.

The processing of data and signals digitally together with the communication of such information over fixed and wireless links is of major importance in many aspects of modern engineering. This course will provide you with a good understanding of digital signal processing, radio systems and digital communications together with topics covering real time implementation of the signal processing techniques. The theoretical aspects of the course will be reinforced with extensive 'hands-on' exercises.

Our BSc Computer Systems course is designed to give you a solid foundation in computing, together with the necessary applied skills. What’s more, it’ll give you a range of professional skills to help you communicate clearly, work independently and co-operate effectively. In the later years of our BSc Computer Systems course, you’ll also have the option to specialise and graduate with a named degree in Games Programming (5Y6J).
