Our MSc in Bioinformatics is a unique and exciting course. It bridges the interface between genomics, computing and healthcare. Students develop skills and competence to effectively analyse, interpret and use the vast amounts of the biological data generated by modern high-throughput technologies such as genome sequencing, next-generation sequencing and microarray expression technology to support and improve health care and health outcomes.
The course covers principles, statistical, computing, knowledge management, skills and the technical know-how for analysing genetics and genomics data, and the underlying health and associations between gene variants, disease susceptibility and drug response.
This course provides you with the practical knowledge and skills to bridge the computo-healthcare interface in the context of genomics and bioinformatics.
You must have a first degree (2:2) or equivalent in healthcare science, forensic science, biology, physics, chemistry, pharmacology, statistics, computing and relevant health-related subjects including medicine, nursing, podiatry, physiotherapy, psychology and pathology.
If you do not meet the minimum entry criteria, you may still be considered through interviews and assessment to ascertain that you are able to study at Masters Level.
