At the University of Manchester, UK, we have over 10 years experience in
teaching a range of online 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.

A module can be studied as a single short course, or you can choose to
register for a formal qualification. Those wishing to complete the
Masters programme will undertake a supported research project.
