Bioinformatics combines computer science with genomics to collect and analyse large, complex sets of biological data.
Bioinformatics collects, stores, and analyses biological data for disease diagnosis, cellular evolution and mutation, medicine development, and many other applications.
Studying bioinformatics will give you practical experience in real industry research outcomes.
Complete the compulsory courses for the Bachelor of Data Science, along with the following major courses:
100-level
200-level
300-level
You will also need to complete at least another 15 points at any level from any other courses at UC.
A Bioinformatics degree gives you an understanding of genomics and molecular biology, combined with professional, interdisciplinary skills in statistics, computer programming, and applying data to research outcomes.
This skillset will prepare you for many roles processing large amounts of data for medical needs, or even in developing new technologies in the field.
