Master's programme in bioinformatics

Bioinformatics is an exciting area where biology, computer science, and mathematics meet. The questions studied come from biology and medicine, but they are studied and solved with methods and tools drawn from computer science and mathematics.

Recent technological advances within biology has provided tools that generate huge amounts of data. To be able to draw conclusions from all these data, tools are needed to manage, store, access, analyze, and visualize it. The role of the bioinformatician is at the heart of this process, with a role to develop and apply such tools. The bioinformatician thus needs biological knowledge to know what to do, and computer and mathematics skills to know how to do it.
