The University of Galway is one of the few institutions in the world that offers an MSc in Applied Clinical Data Analytics. This programme was developed to train healthcare professionals to analyse clinical data through classroom syllables with real-world clinical research examples — think clinical trials, systematic reviews, and observational studies. This exposure will familiarise you with new data analysis tools while teaching you to apply statistical and machine learning techniques to healthcare data.

"The practical approach of this programme, combined with the support and mentorship from faculty members, allowed me to cultivate a deeper proficiency in the different domains of data analysis, motivating me to pursue my academic and professional aspirations," says Dr. David Aguilar.

"From designing and implementing research methodologies to ensure data integrity and quality to selecting and reporting analysis methods, this programme has equipped me with the necessary tools to produce reliable and comprehensible research outcomes."

A prime example of the research conducted here is Professor Conor Judge’s work — he is pioneering artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionise the treatment of high blood pressure. The project integrates safety features to train a computer programme to make treatment decisions as clinical hypertension experts would. Whether you follow Judge’s footsteps or go on to work professionally, you are almost guaranteed a role, as proven by the programme's 100% employability rate.
