Overview
The Master’s program in Bioinformatics currently consists of a single track bearing the same name. It allows students from various bachelor’s degree programs to acquire skills that complement their undergraduate education during the first semester of the M1 year through course units (UE) tailored to their academic backgrounds. Then, starting in the second semester of the M1, students receive training in bioinformatics through core coursework. Two groupsof electivecourses in the second and third semesters allow students to tailor their program toward a computer science or biology/health focus.
