Notes:
Grade Point Average (GPA): SAE uses a 4.00 GPA scale for both undergraduate and graduate courses.
Pass/Fail Courses: Some courses may use a “P” (Pass) or “F” (Fail) grading system, where “P” does not affect GPA.
Graduate Programs: Grades of “C” or lower may not count toward graduate degree requirements depending on the program.
Medium of Instruction: English is used for classes, written assignments and examinations.
Arizona State University®
After successfully completing the certificate at IHM, students will transition into the Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics and Data Science at Arizona State University (ASU). This 12-month program (20 credit hours) focuses on advanced concepts in biomedical informatics, data science, and healthcare technology applications. The program prepares students to take on leadership roles in healthcare, research, and data-driven decision-making.
The ASU curriculum includes core courses such as Foundations of Biomedical Informatics Methods, Introduction to Clinical Environments, and Problem Solving in Biomedical Informatics, along with electives that provide opportunities to specialise in healthcare systems or data science. Graduates of this program are equipped with the skills to lead innovation in healthcare technology, drive data-informed decision-making, and contribute to advancements in clinical informatics and healthcare data analysis.
This dual approach, combining studies at IHM and ASU, enables students to earn a globally recognised qualification and gain expertise in a rapidly growing field.
