Program Overview
Master of Science or M.Sc. Bioinformatics distance education course is a two years program. M. Sc Bioinformatics aims to build in candidates a strong foundation in biotechnology, computational mathematics, computer programming, database management, and statistics, and prepare them for productive careers in fields of biotechnology, pharmaceutical, bioinformatics, and vaccine industries. Students enrolled in M.Sc. Bioinformatics course are imparted skills needed in the interpretation of biological data at the molecular level, and in database organization. Bioinformatics most often works as researchers within the discipline of Molecular Biology, applying Information Technology to manage and organize large databases of biological data on the molecular level.
Top Professions for M. Sc Bioinformatics are:
- Bioinformatics Analyst
- Bioinformatics Trainer
- Bio-Statistician
- Lecturer / Professor
- Research Associate
- Team Leader
