Program details

Overview

The MSc in Digital Health at Reykjavík University is a two-year, 120 ECTS programme from the Department of Computer Science. It prepares students for careers in the digital health industry or for further academic study, and it teaches them to work with data and to interact responsibly with artificial intelligence tools. The programme stresses ethics, data integrity and critical thinking, and students also build digital healthcare solutions such as apps and platforms. The cohort is deliberately mixed: it brings together applicants with technical backgrounds, such as computer science or engineering, and those with health backgrounds, such as medicine, nursing or psychology. Selection is done through interviews, and each intake is small. Mandatory courses are combined with electives that let students deepen their own interests. Work placements are possible, and distance learning is not offered.
