[Bionews] Distance Masters programme in Digital Biology

[Heather Vincent]

At the University of Manchester, UK, we have over 10 years experience in 
teaching a range of online MSc courses in computational biology.  These 
courses are designed to enable those with a background in the life 
sciences, computer science, mathematics or related disciplines to update 
their skills, while remaining in the workplace.  The courses are also 
very suitable for home study, helping you to keep in touch with a 
research environment while taking a career break.

The distance MSc in Digital Biology includes the following modules :

Bioinformatics for Systems Biology
Introduction to Health Informatics
Biocomputing
Computational Systems Biology

The individual courses can be studied by anyone wishing to apply 
computational methods in their research.  Those wishing to progress to 
the MSc will complete a supported research project.  Examples of current 
and completed research projects are listed here :
