Master in Applied Bioinformatics (MSc) - Cranfield

This master in Applied Bioinformatics (MSc) provides a unique hands-on learning experience in bioinformatics skills, by combining the latest advances in analyzing high-throughput genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomics data.

The master in Applied Bioinformatics (MSc) is the first of its kind in the UK. With more than 200 alumni over the past 10 years, it became the most popular postgraduate course in bioinformatics in Europe. Because Cranfield University is a solely postgraduate university it means that every single taught module of the master in Applied Bioinformatics (MSc) is uniquely tailored to be master's level. That’s why it is the winner of the BBSRC’s Master's Training Grant (MTG) award for the best course in life sciences.

Our taught modules cover in great depth a plethora of programming languages typically applied in bioinformatics, such as Perl, Java, R, and SQL, as well as modern web technologies, such as JavaEE, NoSQL, and JavaScript. Furthermore, we have two dedicated taught modules focusing on established bioinformatics protocols for the latest next-generation sequencing (NGS) and 3rd generation sequencing (3GS) technologies.
