During the program, students gain a broad foundation of theoretical and practical knowledge in bioinformatics, along with basic knowledge in biology and computer science, as well as elements of chemistry, mathematics, and physics.
This education serves as the basis for pursuing a future master’s degree and/or doctoral studies.
The bachelor's program in bioinformatics is interdisciplinary and provides experimental, empirical, and theoretical skills in biology as well as practical and theoretical skills in computer science. Typically, a master's program, preferably in bioinformatics, follows the bachelor's degree. Career opportunities are diverse. Due to the balanced education in biology and computer science, roles in various areas of bioinformatics, as well as positions in biology and computer science, are conceivable.
