New Students Begin UCL Postgraduate Programme in Health InformaticsThe academic year 2009-10 began in earnest on Friday October 2nd when no less than thirty new students on the health informatics programme arrived at UCL's Archway Campus to begin their induction programme. Induction, like the modular Postgraduate Programme itself, is a blend of face-to-face and online learning, and the new students, including a large group from the new health informatics stream of the NHS Graduate Management Training Scheme, were treated to a variety of experiences designed to stimulate and prepare them for the years of study ahead. These ranged from meeting the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) for the first time, to keynote lectures and panel discussions involving CHIME staff and visiting nationally and internationally renowned experts in the field.
