Bioinformatic Genome Research Bachelor with One Core Subject (Academic)
FsB vom 28.03.2024
Medicine, biotechnology, agriculture, molecular biology - genome data are playing an increasingly important role in many areas. In order to be able to analyze and "read" this data, experts are needed who can evaluate and process very large amounts of data using bioinformatics and statistics and have a good understanding of genome biology as well. The results serve, for example, as a basis for diagnoses and therapies, for controlling biotechnological processes or for developing new plant varieties. The interdisciplinary degree course "Bioinformatic Genome Research" integrates bioinformatics and genome biology. It teaches the application-oriented skills needed to work in the field of "analysis of high-throughput data in the life sciences". Bielefeld University is strong in research in both bioinformatics and genome biology. The Faculty of Biology and the Faculty of Engineering as well as joint institutions such as the "Center for Biotechnology (CeBiTec)" offer very good working conditions at the cutting edge of technology. In basic and specialization modules, students are given a structured foundation in the subject so that they can increasingly carry out their own research projects independently in project modules up to the Bachelor's thesis. Students gain insights into innovative research and can participate in actual research of working groups. There is a great deal of freedom of choice for supplementary courses and individual profiles that can be pursued.
A mobility window allows students to gain experience abroad or at other universities. The course prepares students for a consecutive Master's degree and possibly a doctorate, but also creates the prerequisites for initial employment in molecular biology, biotechnology or medical fields with authorities, associations and in industry.
