objectives
Bioinformatics is a scientific discipline with roots in the computer sciences, statistics and molecular biology. The programme focuses on the practical application of bioinformatics methods in many areas of the life sciences. It includes training in the fundamentals of database management, computer programming, structural and functional genomics and systems biology.
Na de studie
Beroepsperspectief / arbeidsmarkt
Bioinformatics is a new fast growing field of research poorly served by traditional curricula in Life Sciences. As the demand has outpaced the supply of bioinformaticians the first job after graduation is often a PhD project at a research institute or at an University in or outside the Netherlands. Since this is a new field, we have no hard data on the follow-up. It is however anticipated that five years after graduation, about one third will still be employed as a scientist at an University
or research center. Others will choose for a career at research-oriented pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies.
