Summary
Every field in life sciences has been transformed by the use of computers. Bioinformatics is a rapidly developing field at the interface between life sciences, statistics and computational science focused on addressing key questions in biology through the development and application of methods, data analytics, and software. The ability to develop and apply computational methods to large and complex datasets will be a key driver of biological innovation in the next decades.
MSc Bioinformatics at Nottingham is aimed at students with a background in biological sciences who wish to develop skills in bioinformatics, statistics, computer programming, and data analytics skills for industry, future research careers, and more. The course is not aimed at students with a background in computer science.
The study programme incorporates the areas of: - computational biology, programming, and practice
-
evolutionary and comparative genomics
-
genomics and bioinformatics
-
cutting-edge technologies
-
advanced experimental design and analysis
The taught part of the course is supported by a project preparation skills module, to consolidate your subject-specific skills in addition to training on advanced statistical analysis. You will then complete a substantial individual research project over the summer, utilising these essential employability skills.
