How can we make best use of emerging technologies like AI in surgical environments, to perform more precise therapy and improve healthcare? Join us on this one-year Master's to learn about the latest research in this field and contribute to shaping technologies such as the use of AI for robot vision tasks, or using surgical robots for minimally invasive surgery.
If you’re interested in understanding more about the underlying concepts of medical robotics and AI in healthcare, this Master’s is an excellent option for you.
Explore topics such as surgical data acquisition. Develop an understanding of the devices used to capture surgical data (such as trackers, robots and imaging devices) – and explore the wider topic of medical device development.
A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics or related fields from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Undergraduate standard knowledge in programming languages (such as Python or C++) is essential, demonstrated, e.g., by relevant courses or by an individual project they worked on during their UG. Undergraduate level knowledge of mathematics is also required, in algebra, analysis and probability. Applicants must show an interest in developing thinking and problem-solving skills.

By the end of this Master’s, you’ll be well placed to progress in a career relating to the use of emerging technologies in healthcare, such as a Systems or Software Engineer in a healthcare company.
Your expertise will be highly relevant in both industry and public healthcare. You could go onto develop or evolve new technologies as part of a MedTech start-up or a global company.
The research project gives you the opportunity to apply your knowledge and develop career skills such as project management, public presentation and teamwork.
This MSc is also an excellent starting point for further doctoral studies and a career in research, as you’ll be learning from world-leading UCL researchers at the forefront of healthcare innovations.
