Master of Science in Bioinformatics (Bioscience Engineering)

Ghent University offers an interfaculty Master of Science in Bioinformatics programme, which – depending on the chosen track – can result in an Engineering or Bioscience Engineering degree. Students are provided with the scientific knowledge, skills, attitudes and insights that enable them to function professionally and value-conscious in the domain of bioinformatics, but also in the broader context of the biotechnology/engineering and the different sectors of employment that are open to this master. As a bioinformatician, you will become an interdisciplinary scientist or engineer who can develop or use state-of-the art statistical and computer science techniques to mine molecular data in order to answer fundamental or applied biological and biomedical questions.
