MSc Bioinformatics

... United Kingdom
... Teesside University

Course Overview

This programme teaches you how to manage and manipulate large datasets to reveal new insights in biological sciences. You get intensive training in a computer-based approach to biological research. You develop the computational and analytical understanding necessary as a platform for processing biological data. This involves the appreciation of biochemistry and molecular biology, together with IT and specialist skills in computer programming, data analysis, statistics and computational biology for multidisciplinary careers in research.

The North East, particularly, the Teesside region, is an important regional, national and international hub for the Life Science Sector, with both well-established (FujiFilm Diosynth Biotechnologies, GlaxoSmithKline, Hart Biologicals) and emergent companies (Absolute Antibodies, StreamBio, Hexis Labs, Quantum Dx). Next to CPI’s National Biologics Manufacturing Centre and our Centre for Professional and Executive Development, the University’s National Horizons Centre (NHC) (NHC) is at the heart of an ecosystem of life science excellence.

General Eligibility
