Medical Image Computing MSc: a Masters in Medical Imaging and Computing

The UCL Centre for Medical Image Computing (CMIC) launched a new Postgraduate Masters in Medical Image Computing in September 2007. The MSc aims to equip students with skills necessary to participate effectively in a research, industrial or healthcare environment.

The interdisciplinary course draws on expertise from groups in Medical Physics, Computer Science, Anatomy and the Centre for Healthcare and Multiprofessional Education within UCL as well as lecturers from Industry and other universities. The course provides a rigorous background in medical imaging coupled with state-of-the-art medical image analysis for diagnosis and therapy.

The MSc comprises the following modules taught in the first two terms. A research project forms one third of the course and will be undertaken either at UCL in one of the Europe's largest Medical Imaging research groupings, or at a collaborating organisation. More detailed information is available from the Course Content page.
