Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics lies at the intersection of computer science and biology, solving biological problems through computational analysis and mathematical and statistical methods. It is developing rapidly thanks to technologies generating large volumes of data about genetic information stored in organisms’ DNA and how that information affects the functioning of living cells.

Bioinformatics tools are essential for data processing and research in modern biology and medicine. The programme is particularly suited to students interested in mathematics and computer science alongside biology and medicine. It enables them to develop both interests and find meaningful connections between them.

• Mathematical analysis.
• Principles of Software Development.
• System programming.
• Bioinformatics.
• General Subjects in Bioinformatics.
• Optional Subjects — Mathematics and Computer Science.
• Introduction to Web Technologies.
• Introduction to Mathematical Logic.
• Principles of Computer Operation.
• UNIX for Administrators

Bioinformatics graduates are essential in university research laboratories, research enterprises and private companies working in molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry and related fields. Modern molecular biology generates large datasets, requiring experts combining informatics, mathematics and biology. Graduates can also apply to IT companies, with a competitive advantage where interdisciplinary problem-solving is required.
