Master's Degree Programme in Bioinformatics

This programme offers interdisciplinary knowledge of bioinformatics. Courses are jointly managed by the University of Tampere and University of Turku, and they take advantage of modern educational technology. Students do not need to shuttle between two universities; either teachers travel, or the courses are transmitted by video and other means by the Internet. Education is given in English, and the students learn to work together with associates from different countries and scientific backgrounds. When finishing their MSc degree in bioinformatics, students will be "bilingual" in terms of combined expertise on information technology and biosciences, and therefore, applicants can have a background of either biological or method sciences (computer science, mathematics, statistics).
