The Master in Bioinformatics (MSc) program at Aarhus University is both practical and research oriented. It reflects the interests of the business community, research institutions and the public sector. Students obtain skills within the development and application of computational solutions for analysing and handling data-intensive systems in general, and biological and biomedical systems in particular.
Bioinformatics is a fusion of biology, statistics and computer science that focuses on the development and application of computational solutions for analysing and handling biological and biomedical data. The field of bioinformatics plays a key role in modern biology and biomedicine, where collecting and analysing large data sets is essential.
To address the challenges of big data in modern biology and biomedicine, a bioinformatician must combine practical and theoretical skills in statistical modelling, data analysis, and computer programming with a deep knowledge of biology and biomedicine, a network of competencies that students will acquire through the two-year Master in Bioinformatics (MSc) program at Aarhus University.
