Who can apply

• Clinicians who hold a medical, dental or veterinary degree, have held a clinical post after qualifying and hold GMC, GDC or RCVS registration. Applicants must meet the entry requirements of an approved MSc in AI, machine learning or a related computational subject, show enough quantitative and computational background for it, and be eligible for UK home tuition fee status, which in practice excludes most international applicants. Medical students on a UK MBPhD programme, or at a UK medical school that allows interruption of studies, may also apply for the MSc plus PhD route. Previous wet or dry lab research experience is desirable.
