[Heather Vincent]

The new distance learning course, Introduction to Molecular Biology for Computer 
Scientists, is designed to prepare those with a first degree in Computer Science for a 
postgraduate qualification in Bioinformatics.  It can be studied either as an individual 
module, or as an element of the full MSc in Bioinformatics at the University of 
Manchester, UK.

The MSc modules follow two themes, Bioinformatics and Computer Science.  The 
Bioinformatics modules are:

Introduction to Molecular Biology for Computer Scientists
Biological sequence analysis (Bioinformatics 1)
Microarray data analysis (Bioinformatics 2)
Theory and Applications in Bioinformatics

The computing modules are:

C for Bioinformatics
Java
Biocomputing
Object-oriented analysis and design with UML

The module fee for 2002/2003 is £600.  You will find further information at:
