About the Master of Science in Bioinformatics
The Master of Science in Bioinformatics program is #1 in Australia for Biological Sciences. It provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of bioinformatics, a field that combines biology, computer science, and computational techniques to analyse and interpret biological data. This interdisciplinary program equips students with the skills necessary to tackle complex biological problems using cutting-edge computational approaches.
Our graduates go on to work as bioinformaticians, data scientists and analysts, and computational biologists.
The Master Program is a 200-point course. Alongside subjects that build key bioinformatics skills, students will undertake a real-world bioinformatics research project over 12–18 months with one of our expert researchers and practitioners from across the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct.
Program Highlights
- Interdisciplinary curriculum bridging biology, computer science, and statistics
- Hands-on training in bioinformatics tools, databases, and programming languages
- Exposure to various domains, including genomics, proteomics, and systems biology
- Opportunities for research projects and collaborations with industry partners
- Preparation for careers in biotechnology, pharmaceutical companies, and academic research
