The International Master's in Bioinformatics at the University of Bologna contributes to establishing a European Higher Education Area in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. The master's programme generates knowledge and expertise in specific domains of Biology, Biotechnology, and Biomedicine crucial in the post-genomic era for storing, retrieving, and analysing large sets of molecular data.
The International Master's in Bioinformatics programme focuses on the study and development of computational methods for the analysis and interpretation of biological data through artificial intelligence. Tailored to students' needs, it emphasizes modelling complex biological phenomena, applying foundational principles from physics, mathematics, statistics, chemistry, and computer science.
The International Master's in Bioinformatics offers many internship opportunities in international institutions for thesis projects. Dedicated fellowships are available through the Erasmus+ study and mobility for traineeship programmes. Exchange initiatives have been established with European institutions in Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey.
