Programme description

The Digital Biology pathway is centered around two themes, one based around applications in healthcare, the other on applications in biological sciences. They are specifically designed for computer scientists without any previous experience of medicine or biology.

They will help you to develop the core skills needed to work or research (as a computer scientist) in these new areas. These two core themes are complemented with a range of other themes that allow students to develop additional skills which have important applications in healthcare and biology.

Digital Biology
The programme aims to provide training in technologies across the range of informatics applied to bioscience and healthcare.
