Yes, you can apply for a Master's in Health Data Science as an alternative to Biotechnology for your studies in the UK. Your background in Biotechnology provides a strong foundation, as both fields involve data analysis in health and biological contexts.
Most UK universities offering Health Data Science require:
- Relevant undergraduate degree (such as Biotechnology)
- Strong academic record
- English proficiency (IELTS or PTE; subject to change)
Program start dates, entry requirements, and accepted qualifications can vary by university and are subject to change.
