Technological advances have led to an explosion in the amount of biological information available to scientific communities, governments, and industry. The challenge now is how to organize, visualize, and interpret this vast amount of information. Bioinformatics seeks to make sense of biological processes on all scales, from the molecular level to full ecosystems, using powerful and efficient computational techniques. Graduate students in our bioinformatics programs apply skills in programming, statistics, and data management in their own research project. Areas of focus have included agricultural science, ecology, evolution, genetics, medicine, and veterinary science.

At PhD-level, you would also need a master’s degree with a minimum score of B overall as well as evidence that you have strong potential for research.
 
Average tuition fees range between CAD$20,500-28,50 (US$16,900 and US$23,000) per year, although special funding is available to students. All doctoral students receive a minimum stipend of at least US$14,400 for the first three years of study.
 
Apply online here. If you are applying from abroad, you should consult the department’s website to check whether you need to secure a faculty member before submitting an application. Typically, in postgraduate research programs, you need to find a faculty member to conduct research under; otherwise, your research in your selected program won't be approved - especially for funding.
