The development in modern biology and gene technology has
generated a wealth of information. The hereditary information of
several model organisms are systematically examined as the complete
nucleotide sequences of their genomes are being determined. There is
no doubt that all this experimental data and the information derived
from it will have a tremendous impact on all disciplines of biology,
including medicine. For the management and analysis of data in this
field there is a growing demand for tools provided by mathematics,
statistics and computer science.
To meet the growing demand of knowledge and skills in this area Chalmers University of Technology has started an International Master's of Science Programme in Bioinformatics. The first group of students began their studies on the programme in August 2000. The complete programme includes three semesters of full time studies, which corresponds to 60 credit units (cu); 40 cu of courses in bioinformatics, computer science, mathematical statistics, and a Master's Thesis work of 20 cu. The working language of the programme is English. Further information
