This interdisciplinary programme is based in the School of Computing Science and taught jointly with the Faculty of Medical Sciences and the School of Mathematics and Statistics.
You take compulsory modules (60 credits) and optional modules (40 credits), followed by a six-month individual project that may be taken within the University or with a bioinformatics or pharmaceutical company (80 credits). Compulsory modules typically include: bioinformatics theory and applications; bioinformatics programming in Java; computing for bioinformatics or fundamentals of cell and molecular biology. Optional modules enable you to tailor your degree to either a computational/numerical theme or a more biologically oriented theme.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
