Master in Bioinformatics and Modeling (60 ECTS - 1 year)
The Master in bioinformatics and modeling is a one-year advanced study into the different aspects of bioinformatics, i.e. sequence and structure, and biological modeling , i.e. systems biology (60 credits using the European Credit Transfer System - ECTS).This programme addresses students that already have a Masters degree in computer science, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology or bio-engineering.
The objectives of the programme are to provide a deeper understanding and knowledge into different specialisations in the field and to prepare for an active role both in academic and industrial research and development. The following specialisations are offered:
1. Genome, proteome and evolution.
2. Biophysics and structural bioinformatics
3. Modelling biological systems
Mandatory Courses (total of 25 ECTS + 25 ECTS for the dissertation)
