Changes to Health Informatics and Health Information Governance Programmes

As from September 2010 all students who apply for our online distance learning programmes in Health Information Governance and Health Informatics (run in partnership with Edinburgh University) will now join a new merged programme which involves studying four Health Informatics courses in year one before going on to either specialise in Health Informatics or Health Information Governance in the Diploma year. Students who wish to continue onto the MSc level of the programme can obtain a degree in either Health Informatics or Health Information Governance.

Applications are now live for both programmes.
