Population and Health Data Science, PhD

Swansea University

The growing pressures on healthcare systems globally are well documented, with chronic diseases, ageing populations and increased incidents of mental health. Advancements in medicine are improving health for more and more people, but inequalities in the healthcare received by people based on where they are born, live and work are prevalent. Population health aims to address these inequalities, by working to better understand the healthcare needs of groups of people, improving healthcare models and providing innovative solutions to meet people’s health needs. Additionally, healthcare already has an established strong relationship with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), and is continuously expanding the knowledge forefront as new methods of acquiring data concerning the health of human beings are developed.Your programme will feature: Practice-focused learning, Supervision team with nominated supervisorsYou will draw on skills from the broader academic community, Programme seminars and workshopsAccess to Wales’ premier purpose-build medical research facility, Collaboration with industry and business partners
