The Master's Programme in Health Informatics is aimed at students who are interested in information technology and its application to the fields of medicine and healthcare. You will learn methods to make healthcare safer, more efficient and of higher quality through computer based information and knowledge management.
Students may have their initial training in either health sciences or computer science. During the first semester, students with technical backgrounds take courses in basic medical sciences, health care organisation and management, while students with healthcare backgrounds learn basic computer and systems sciences. The first semester ends with a joint course in health care information systems.
The second semester covers basic health informatics methods for user needs and requirements engineering, methods for evaluating different aspects of health information systems during and after implementation, as well as health informatics standards. Students will also get an introduction into data science methods and have a course on scientific methods at advanced level.
The third semester provides an introduction to project management where previously studied data science methods will be applied in project form. Students also have the choice of either a course in information security or entrepreneurship. They will also get insight into current research topics in health informatics through a course preparing students for own scientific studies. The fourth and final semester consists of a thesis in which students carry out a larger scientific study.
The programme is given by Karolinska Institutet jointly with Stockholm University, and students receive a joint degree from both universities.
