Our Bioinformatics Masters bridges the interfaces between genomics, computing and healthcare and aims to equip you with the skills to analyse, interpret and use biological data to inform and improve healthcare and health outcomes.
You will consider biological data generated by technologies such as genome and next-generation sequencing and microarray expression technology.
Additionally, you will also learn how the results of analysis can be applied to improve health outcomes.
Throughout your studies, you will be encouraged to reflect on the ethical, legal and social implications of using genomics data.
You must have a first degree (2:2) or equivalent in a health-related subject including healthcare science, forensic science, biology, physics, chemistry, pharmacology, statistics, computing, medicine, nursing, podiatry, physiotherapy, psychology and pathology.
You will be required to attend an interview. You will need to provide evidence of your achievements, for example:
