Master of Science in Bioinformatics (Systems Biology)
Bioinformatics aims at gaining a better and preferentially more quantitative molecular understanding of cellular processes by integrating and modelling high-throughput molecular data (omics data). This requires the use and development of state-of-the-art techniques for storing, retrieving, organizing, analysing and interpreting biological data.
Open Days
Each spring there is a Graduation Fair. It consists of a job fair (with more than 200 different companies) and a postgrad/master fair.
For some programmes, there is a specific Open Day. If this is the case, you will find the date here (at the latest Feb 15th).

Admission for Students holding a Non-Flemish Degree
Information on admission requirements and the administrative procedure for admission on the basis of a diploma obtained abroad, can be found on the following page: www.ugent.be/admission
Additional information:
- Diploma equivalence of international bachelor's degree students will be checked by the OC on the basis of their individual dossier.
-
Students who wish to enrol must add the result of a GRE test to their application, more specifically the result of the Quantitative Reasoning of the General Test. The GRE test result will be assessed using the grading scale of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture.

Flexible trajectories
Flexible trajectories refers to alternative ways of following our courses. It might mean that a course can be spread in time as to allow the combination of work and studying, or that students with special needs get the support they need to allow a successful study career.
An international experience
Going abroad with Erasmus is wide-spread and well-known. But getting an international experience is possible in many different ways.
