The BSc Medical Computing Science is for good students who are not afraid of maths, science, or computing. We are looking for people who are good enough to go to medical school, and hence will feel comfortable in medical school classes, but also are interested in and excited by computers and IT, and how they can be used in medicine. Medical Computing Science Research at Aberdeen Aberdeen University is a leader in research in Medical Computing Science. There are also many medical CS research projects in the Aberdeen Faculty of Medicine, on a variety of topics ranging from image processing to improving information management to computer-based training for health workers in developing countries .

Structure First year students are introduced to the principles of computing science through two courses on Internet Information Systems and Introductory Programming in Java . Students also take two mathematical courses, C alculus and A lgebra . Medical Computing surveys the field of medical computing, from medical image analysis to medical expert systems. Finally, Molecular and Cell Biology introduces the biological underpinnings of modern medicine. Second year students continue to study core computing science topics, via courses on Databases , Data Structures and Algorithms , Human Computer Interaction , and Computer Organization and Interfacing .
