Master of Bio-informative (A newly offer master program of 2015)

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field of science in which biology, computer science, statistics, mathematics and engineering are combined to study and process biological data. Bioinformatics aims at gaining a better and quantitative understanding of cellular processes by integrating, analyzing and modeling molecular data (so-called ‘omics’ data). Within this context, bioinformatics has evolved into a basic scientific discipline which is essential not only for fundamental biological research but also for medical diagnosis, cancer research, drug development, agriculture, etc.

The Master of Science in Bioinformatics is an interfaculty master open to certain students from the Faculty of Sciences, Faculty of Bioscience Engineering and Faculty of Engineering and Architecture (see admission requirements) that aims to provide students with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude to work in such interdisciplinary context. The interfaculty Master of Science in Bioinformatics at Ghent University provides a curriculum of 120 ECTS, taught in English. Bioinformatics is inherently multidisciplinary, and requires not only learning skills/knowledge from domains different than those of the bachelor's degree, but also acquiring a more in-depth knowledge/training in the domain that corresponds to the students’ specific background and primary interest. The master is structured to provide both this broadening and deepening.
