Program Description

The program is an interdisciplinary field that combines the different ways of thinking and languages of life sciences (biology) and computer science. The goal of the program is to teach students how to apply bioinformatic methods to analyze biological data. The program consists of modules in biology, computer science, and mathematics, and aims to provide students with the skills to apply bioinformatic knowledge directly to biological problems.

Focus

The program focuses on the application of bioinformatic methods to biological problems, with a strong emphasis on life sciences. The program is designed to provide students with a broad range of skills, including programming, algorithms, and data analysis.

Program Structure

The program is divided into four semesters. In the first two semesters, students study the basics of computer science and mathematics, including algorithms and programming. In the second and third semesters, students learn about bioinformatic methods and their application to biological problems. In the third and fourth semesters, students work on concrete problems in biological research, applying bioinformatic methods to analyze data.

Admission Requirements

• A bachelor's degree in a life science (e.g., biology) is required.
• Basic knowledge of programming is expected, but can be acquired during the first year of study.

Career Prospects

Graduates of the program will have a strong background in life sciences and computer science, and will be qualified to work in a variety of fields, including research, industry, and academia.
