Biological Data Science (MSc) - University of Dundee

The Master in Biological Data Science (MSc) at University of Dundee prepares students with the knowledge and skills required to join a growing international workforce within the rapidly advancing field of biological data science, an area of ever-increasing importance in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.

The course design reflects the university's extensive industry interactions. Students will learn a broad spectrum of skills and knowledge for a successful career in a variety of academic, industrial and science-related sectors related to data sciences in a biological or biomedical context.

They will gain skills in using computational methods to access and analyse data, make predictions, construct models and evaluate model quality. As new data scientists, they will build your programming skills for specific data analysis purposes. There will be a focus on the different algorithms for machine learning, statistical analysis and data modelling.

Students will apply sophisticated analysis methods to discover the deeper meaning behind the complex data generated by biological and biomedical research in such areas as -omics (genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics), microscopy and imaging, protein structure analysis, and in the process of drug discovery.

The Master in Biological Data Science (MSc) course will allow students to learn about and experience the world leading collection of cutting edge technology platforms in the biosciences on offer at the University of Dundee. Alternatively, they can choose to gain an understanding and practical knowledge of molecular modelling and simulation in the fields of biology and drug design.
