A Bachelor's degree, equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen, from an internationally recognised university. Also required is: 45 credits in biology including 30 credits in molecular biology, cell biology, evolution or genetics; and 15 credits in mathematics or statistics.
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 want to understand genetic diseases in humans, recreate relationships between species or develop new drugs? The Master's Programme in Bioinformatics offers you an education in the interdisciplinary field of bioinformatics, where theory and practice from mathematics, computer science and biology are combined. You will gain knowledge that is central to several research fields, along with the tools to actively contribute to the rapid advancement of bioinformatics. As modern methodologies in biomedicine and evolutionary biology produce increasingly large datasets, such as DNA sequences, the need for advanced data management and analysis grows. Bioinformaticians acquire unique skills not only to utilise but also to develop tools that transform data into valuable information and make relevant conclusions. If you have a background in biology and want to develop skills to apply and create tools that translate complex data into meaningful conclusions, this programme is a great choice. The Master's in Bioinformatics will help you expand your expertise within this interdisciplinary field. During the programme, you will: meet researchers who are experts in their fields; gain practical experience through projects in research groups or companies; and build a comprehensive network and es
