Biomedical Bioinformatics - Specialization
Biomedical Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics is a multi-disciplinary field requiring insight and skills both within molecular biology and within computation. Nevertheless, as a Bioinformatician there is a spectrum where one can focus more on the biological side or on the methodological side in one's work. On the Biomedical Bioinformatics specialization the focus is on the biomedical topic (e.g., immunology, cancer, diabetes, ...), and not so much on the development of methods.
Programme specific courses (55 ECTS)
A total of 55 ETCS must be completed in Program specific courses. Program specific clourses consists of 10 ECTS mandatory courses that teaches essential skills relating to the specific field of this programme, and 5 ECTs from courses relate to innovation, entrepreneurship & management. The remaining 40 ECTs are selected from the course list below

Specializations are merely recommended ways of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialization but to the programme and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the directions given. However, if a specialization has been fulfilled the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.
