Healthcare and Technology summary
King’s Healthcare & Technology module explores how engineering and computing contribute to healthcare, from medical imaging to robotics and 3D printing.
Lectures, tutorials, software practice and demonstrations connect technical ideas to practical applications. An essay and an in-class test assess what you learn.
It suits students seeking a concentrated academic introduction to healthcare technology, particularly those interested in the overlap between medicine and engineering.
What is Healthcare & Technology Summer School?
Healthcare & Technology Summer School is a King’s College London module exploring how technology is used in healthcare. Its academic scope includes medical imaging, medical simulation, medical robotics, biomechanics, 3D printing, artificial intelligence and Neural Engineering. The module combines technical foundations with practical applications and historical developments.
Students learn through lectures, tutorials, software tools and live technology demonstrations. Practical work includes mechatronics simulators, basic CAD and medical imaging tools. University-standard assessment gives the experience a more substantial academic focus than a general campus taster.
Why Succeed highlights Healthcare and Technology
The named technical topics make the course useful for testing an interest in the intersection of medicine and engineering.
Software practice and live demonstrations help connect abstract principles to healthcare applications.
A specified essay and multiple-choice test give students concrete academic tasks to work toward.
The module has an explicit credit equivalence, offering a potential route to recognition by a student’s home institution.
Who is Healthcare and Technology for?
Best for
Students interested in how imaging, robotics and digital fabrication support healthcare, who want practical learning alongside assessed academic work.
Not ideal if
You mainly want clinical shadowing or a lightly structured summer experience; the course emphasizes technology and substantial independent study.
Is Healthcare and Technology worth it?
This course is worth considering if you want to understand the technical side of healthcare through both theory and practical applications. Its strongest features are the specific software tools, live demonstrations and defined academic assessments. Potential credit transfer adds value when your home institution approves it.
The main limitation is breadth: several substantial fields are introduced within a short module, so expect foundations rather than specialist mastery. The independent-study workload also requires serious planning. Judge the value against your academic goals and the full cost of tuition, housing, meals and travel.
