Bioinformatics with Systems Biology (MRes)

  • Objectives This degree is designed for students from a range of scientific backgrounds, who want to pursue research training in the interdisciplinary field of bioinformatics and systems biology. Over half of the programme is devoted to a practical project using techniques such as genome analysis, protein sequence alignment or molecular modelling. Training is also provided in searching and evaluating data in literature and online databases, and the analytical and presentational skills required by the successful research scientist.
  • Entry requirements Entry requirements Biological, chemical, physical or mathematical sciences degree, second class or better. Some practical knowledge of a programming language would be a distinct advantage. Mathematics to A-level or equivalent desirable, but O-level/GCSE considered.
