MSc Bioinformatics

A master's at the boundary of biology, statistics and computer science. Students learn molecular and genome biology, sequence algorithms, phylogenetics, structural bioinformatics and statistical genetics, and analyse transcriptomic, single-cell and proteomic data with reproducible pipelines. Assessment centres on programming projects and written analyses of real data sets. It suits graduates in biology, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry who want to extract biological insight from large-scale molecular data, and it ends with a research thesis.
