Comments about Bioinformatics with Systems Biology (MSc) - At the institution - London - Greater London

  • Objectives
    Bioinformatics is a comparatively new discipline that has arisen from the need to extract biologically useful information from the vast quantities of raw experimental data presently being generated in the biosciences. This degree is designed for students from a range of scientific backgrounds, who are particularly interested in the study of computational and scientific developments in bioinformatics and the application of this knowledge to the fields of molecular and biological science. The aim of the degree is to provide students with a high-quality postgraduate training in bioinformatics which meets the needs of the pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechnology industries for research and development.
  • Entry requirements
    Entry requirements Students may have first degrees in a wide range of subjects, including biology, computer science, mathematics, chemistry or physics. Some practical knowledge of one programming language would be a distinct advantage. Mathematics to A-level or equivalent desirable, but O-level/GCSE considered.
