Our MSc and MRes Bioinformatics provide you with high-quality online training in bioinformatics, with the MRes offering you a larger research component to your studies. You will learn the basic principles of bioinformatics and computational biology skills currently in high demand, for example applying appropriate statistical tests to biological data, analysing genomic sequences and training machine learning models to make predictions. Why choose this course This course benefits from being embedded in a highly research-active environment in which you will be taught by expert computational biologists. You can study this course from anywhere in the world, as we provide you with access to high-quality, pre-recorded materials, live online sessions and supervised practicals. We welcome students from a variety of science-based disciplines and academic or professional backgrounds to this course, so you will join a unique student cohort learning alongside students from all age groups, who bring a variety of professional experiences to our course. We have over 25 years of experience running this course. Our alumni recommend it highly. Some are now successfully leading computational biology groups in research institutes or relevant industries. What you will learn This course covers core concepts underpinning bioinformatics. You will learn the basic skills required for any bioinformatics job, including: coding in Python statistical analysis and fundamentals of data science using R understanding the algorithms used in the analysis of biological sequences core biological concepts such as genes and genomes and protein structure and function. We also continuously update the course to meet the needs of the pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechnology industries. Our current focus is on growth areas including the analysis of next-generation sequencing data, the application of machine learning to biological data, the use of deep learning in protein structure prediction, and immunoinformatics. How you will learn You can choose to study this course full- or part-time and it is taught entirely online. We offer you pre-recorded material, live online sessions and a range of post-session activities so you can learn at a time that suits you. The live online sessions are held in the evening and generally comprise a lecture or discussion and then a relevant, supervised practical. If you require a Student visa to study in the UK, you should not apply for this course as it is delivered online, and this may affect the conditions of your visa.
