Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that applies and develops computational methods to extract and report on insights from biological data. It includes importing, tidying, visualising, analysing and communicating and is applied to complex problems in any domain of biology and beyond.
In the Department of Biology, we have considerable research expertise in the application and design of computational methods for finding solutions for three major global challenges:
This course is aimed at bioscientists with no previous experience of programming or bioinformatic analyses. By undertaking this programme, you will therefore receive a thorough grounding in research bioinformatics that will enable you to pursue a bioscience PhD with a computational component or a range of other specialist career paths within industry.
2:2 or equivalent in bioscience. We also consider applicants who have substantial industry experience. If you have completed an integrated Masters, this course is not suitable for you.
