M Res in Bioinformatics

This interdisciplinary programme is based in the School of Computing Science, but taught jointly by the Institute of Human Genetics and the Schools of Computing Science, Mathematics and Statistics, Biology, and Biomedical Sciences. You take taught modules followed by a six-month individual project that may be taken within the University or with a bioinformatics or pharmaceutical company. Compulsory modules include: bioinformatics theory; bioinformatics applications; bioinformatics programming in Java; computing for bioinformatics or fundamentals of cell and molecular biology. Optional modules are available to enable you to tailor your degree to either a computational/numerical theme or a more biologically oriented theme.
