The second cycle degree programme in Bioinformatics aims to provide a suitable training and experience for work within the areas of Biology, Biotechnology and Medicine that in both research and application require biomedical information stored in database and existing or new methods for sequence analysis.
Nowadays, in order to advance biomedical and biological research both require professionals with a multi-disciplinary background who can gather information from existing data bases, but also contribute to improving and creating new ones so as to safeguard and hand down a unique heritage of molecular information on both our own species and others. The applications of Bioinformatics vary greatly and include various areas as can be seen from the different laboratories that assist in training staff in the different subjects.
The second cycle degree programme in Bioinformatics, therefore, provides the basic knowledge necessary to use computer technology and bioinformatic tools as required for research or the preparation of a thesis in one of the laboratories among those operating at Bologna University, where Bioinformatics is essential in order to perform research.

Requirements
To profitably attend a second-level degree course in Bioinformatics it is necessary to have acquired basic knowledge in:
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Computer Science
- Chemistry
- Biological/Biotechnological/Biomedical oriented knowledge
Moreover, the following entry requirements are required to be admitted to a second-level degree course:
a degree in one of the following classes, or a certificate of study obtained abroad and recognised as being suitable:
- ex-D.M. 270: Any undergraduate level degree
- ex-D.M. 509/99: Any undergraduate level degree
- previous four-year University system degree: Any undergraduate level degree
Admission to the second-level degree course is subject to the possession of predefined curricular requirements and to the assessment of suitable personal preparation ascertained through one's University career. This may be followed by an interwiew according to modalities, criteria and procedures decided upon by the Degree Course Council and duly published on the University website.
If the basic knowledge cannot be certified, the admission to a second-level Degree Course is subject to a preliminary assessment by a Commission that ascertains, by means of interview, the skills and competencies required.
The Commission, appointed by the council of the second-level degree course, will arrange a schedule, from September to December, for the interviews, which will be published on the University's website.
If the Commission considers the level of the student's knowledge and competences to be satisfactory, the student is allowed to enrol in a second-level Degree Course in Bioinformatics.
The assessment of a suitable personal preparation is considered to be satisfied by the possession of the curricular requirements, however ascertained.
Additional Requirements
| Minimal degree required: | Bachelor's degree |
| Minimal amount of work experience | Not specified |
