Within the life sciences, there is a significant demand for expertise in computational science. On this programme you will learn how to generate and store large amounts of data and use data science to search for patterns, correlations, and trends in issues related to medicine and biology.
About the program
There is currently an explosive growth in computational science methods within medicine and biology. This master’s programme will teach you how to study complex processes within life sciences, and how computational science can contribute to knowledge development in society. You will gain knowledge in the use of numerical simulations and machine learning to make forecasts and analyses, or to replace experiments.
The programme gives you specialised knowledge within computational science, while also being interdisciplinary in character. The education contains a mixture of courses in biophysics, systems biology, mathematics and computational science. You will, for example, learn about dynamic modelling of various processes in cells and organs, and you will gain knowledge in artificial intelligence, with a focus on deep learning.
In addition to theoretical knowledge in computational science, there will be an emphasis on the practical tools that are used by professionals in the field, including training your skills in programming. You will also acquire general knowledge and skills of importance for computationally intensive professions, such as problem formulation, information search, data processing, scientific writing, and presentation techniques.
The programme has strong ties to research. You will be taught by internationally well-recognised researchers, and you will be in contact with several research groups.
