If you have a first degree in a molecular bioscience and want to specialise or enhance your skills in biological computing, this programme is designed for you.You will benefit from being taught by scientists at the cutting edge in their field and, if you progress to the MRes, you will get hands-on experience in active research labs during the summer research project.
* MRes: 12 months full-time
* PgDip: 9 months full-time
The taught element covers three main areas:
* You will perfect your understanding of the molecular biology of genes and proteins, and learn how to use existing computer programs to analyse them.
* You will learn about the '...OMICS' technologies and their application (microarrays, next-generation DNA sequencing, proteomics and metabolomics).
* You will learn and apply the computational techniques required for bioinformatics in this course, partly run by staff in the School of Computing Science in conjunction with their MSc in Information Technology.
Research project
If you progress to the MRes you will undertake a four-month research project. Normally this will be with one of the research laboratories associated with the programme, but there is also the opportunity to study in suitable laboratories in other parts of the world.

Requirements
A second class Honours degree or equivalent (eg GPA of 3.0 or above) in a relevant subject. Professional experience may be taken into account.
You do not need to have previous experience in computer programming, but you should be numerate, as part of the programme is spent learning programming. We may admit you if your background is outside molecular biology and we are confident that you can develop your understanding of the biology background in a timely manner.
If your first language is not English, the University sets a minimum English Language proficiency level
