Study Level
Masters
Study Mode
On Campus
Bioinformatics and Systems Biology are scientific disciplines with roots in computer science, mathematical modelling, statistics and molecular biology. As larger amounts of data are collected from genes to cells, tissues, organisms and populations, new methods of analysis, modelling, and interpretation are required. If you are passionate about life sciences, data modelling and computer science, this is the programme for you!
Bioinformaticians and Systems Biologists act as the bridge between experimental life sciences and applied computer sciences. The programme is developed to handle and analyse ever-increasing amounts of data (for example, public databases contain over 100 Gigabases of DNA) using system-level approaches.
You will:
- Learn to apply and develop tools that enable broad analysis of complex, variable and large datasets.
- Learn to develop state-of-the-art bioinformatic tools, apply algorithms and models to solve biological questions.
- Learn to predict gene functions and demonstrate the relationship between genes, proteins, and observable phenotypes using system-level approaches.
- Learn to communicate results and hypotheses with a broad range of researchers.

Admission Requirements
Norm for this equivalence
The norm for this equivalence is to have an assessment of the student’s expertise in one or more of the following topics:
- Bioinformatics
- Computer sciences
- Programming skills
- Life sciences (with at least biochemistry and molecular biology)
- Biology (cell biology, microbiology, genetics)
- Chemistry (biochemistry)
And both the following topics:
- Mathematics (algebra)
- Statistics (normal and binomial distribution)
Not all topics mentioned need to be mastered at the same level; they will be weighed by the Admission Board per individual application.
