Welcome to the study program CS: Bioinformatics at the Department of Informatics. We are looking forward to welcome you on 15 August 2023. The deadline for course registration is already Thursday 17 August. The lectures begin on Monday 21 August.
Research groups
During the work on the master's thesis, you will work in a research group and receive guidance from researchers in the group and possibly external supervisors. This field of study (CS: Bioinformatics) is affiliated with the Research Group for Biomedical Informatics (BMI) at the Department of Informatics (IFI) and the Center for Bioinformatics (SBI). We are working on developing different methods for analyzing many different types of molecular biological data, usually related to DNA and proteins. Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary research area and then knowledge is needed in both informatics, mathematics, statistics, biology and medicine. The goal is that the methods we develop should be able to be used to help us understand biological processes or interpret medical data. We collaborate a lot with other research environments in biology and medicine. BMI and SBI are located in the former NEMKO building in Gaustadalleen 30D.
Selecting courses 2023
Requirements for courses are shown in the overview of the structure of the programme option CS: Bioinformatics. You have to choose two of the mandatory courses IN4200, FYS-STK4155 and MAT4110, as well as HSE courses during the first year. In addition, you choose one of the recommended courses and three elective courses of 10 credits. In the overview, some of the recommended topics are mentioned. You may also want to take a look at the page about studies at the Center for Bioinformatics. Apart from this, there are no absolute requirements for courses, but you should choose courses that are relevant to the master's thesis you will choose. It is important to take into account that most courses only take place either in spring or autumn. It is urgent to choose topics for the autumn semester 2023, as the deadline is already 17 August!
Tips:
- Choose 3-4 topics that you think will suit you
- Bring the list to the workshop on 15 August, where course selection is one of the topics
- Feel free to discuss with teachers and fellow students
