A Bachelor's degree, equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen, from an internationally recognised university. Also required is: 25 credits in mathematics or statistics; and 30 credits in computer science.
Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6. This requirement can be met either by achieving the required score on an internationally recognised test, or by previous upper secondary or university studies in some countries.
Do you have a computer science background and wish to focus on the exciting interdisciplinary field of bioinformatics? If you want to combine computer science, mathematics and biology, then the Master's Programme in Bioinformatics is designed for you. The knowledge you will acquire is central to many research fields, such as studying genetic diseases in humans, building the tree of life or developing new types of pharmaceuticals. As modern methodologies in biomedicine and evolutionary biology produce increasingly large datasets, such as DNA sequences, the need for advanced data management and analysis continues to grow. As a bioinformatician you will acquire unique skills to both apply and create tools that help translate complex data into meaningful information and well-founded conclusions. If you have a background in computer science and wish to expand your expertise within this interdisciplinary field, the Master's Programme in Bioinformatics is ideal. During the programme, you can expect to: meet researchers who are experts in their fields; gain practical experience through projects in research groups or companies; and build a comprehensive network and establish connections with potential future employers. Our teachers, who are active researchers, support you in building a br
