Healthcare & Technology

Summer School modules are designed to be intensive, intellectually-stimulating short courses. They are taught by King’s academics in academic disciplines where King's has expertise. Classes are very international with students from all around the globe learning together.

Each module is 150 study hours comprising intensive teaching, independent study and group work and is examined to university standards. Comparable to an in-semester 15-credit King’s undergraduate module and therefore typically awarded 3-4 US credits or 7.5 ECTS, many summer students ask their home institution to award them external credit for their King's summer module to use towards their degree programme when they return home.

The course aim is to give students a basic understanding and knowledge of a selection of key topics in Healthcare Technology, including the basics of medical imaging, medical simulation and medical robotics. The course also aims to give students practical experience of each of the mentioned topics and an awareness of the historical developments in Healthcare Technology over the last 100 years. 

By the end of the module, the students will be able to demonstrate intellectual, transferable and practicable skills appropriate to a Level 4 module. In particular, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of key topics in Healthcare Technology, including the basics of medical imaging, medical simulation and medical robotics. This will be achieved through the lecture programme. Students will also be able to demonstrate an understanding of the practical applications of these topics and this will be achieved through the practical programme that accompany each topic.
