This MSc/ PGDip Bioinformatics and Biostatistics prepares you to apply and develop new computational techniques in biomedical research, working both in hospital environments and for companies across the biotech sector.
Our online MSc / PGDip Biostatistics and Bioinformatics will teach you how to use computer tools to store, organise, analyse and interpret vast amounts of data to extract knowledge that can be applied to solving biological and biomedical problems. This course will fully equip you with the skills you need to kickstart your career in this rapidly evolving sector.
What is bioinformatics?
Bioinformatics is the application of computational and statistical techniques to study biological data, including DNA, RNA and protein sequences. It involves the development of algorithms and software tools to analyse and interpret large data sets in order to understand biological systems and processes. Bioinformatics has applications in several fields, including genomics, proteomics, drug discovery and personalised medicine.
What are the uses of biostatistics?
Biostatistics is the application of statistical methods to study biological data and improve public health. It has many applications, including the design of clinical trials, the analysis of health care data, the identification of risk factors for disease, and the evaluation of public health programmes. Biostatistics also plays a crucial role in developing and testing new medical treatments, and in the analysis and interpretation of epidemiological data to inform public health policy.
