Overview

Bioinformatics with Bioenterprise from University of York you’ll learn from leading researchers tackling global challenges in health and disease, sustainable food and fuel, and environmental change. Alongside scientific training, the course will develop your commercial awareness and entrepreneurial skills, helping you turn research into real-world impact.

Key facts

Designed for bioscientists with little or no programming experience, the course begins with modules in Bioinformatics, Data Analysis and Programming, and Research Skills. You’ll then work on a collaborative group project, engage with York scientists in interactive research seminars, and finally complete an independent research project in a specialist area of bioinformatics.

Throughout, you’ll gain experience in data analysis, programming, communication, and project design, preparing you for a PhD with a computational focus or a career in biotechnology, healthcare, or environmental industries.

You’ll complete research - and practitioner- led modules, comprising evaluation of contemporary research literature and seminars that highlight the research of bioinformaticians in the department, together with learning how that research can be translated into the commercial sphere. In addition, a group project, and valuable skills training will prepare you for the independent study module, in which you'll join one of our research teams to carry out an extended research project.
