Bioinformatics

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

Health, pharma, and biotechnology are of outstanding social and economic importance – and they rely on the systematic processing of biological data. Students on the Bachelor's degree program in Bioinformatics (B.Sc.) learn to analyze this data and to make it applicable. The program, offered jointly by the Technical University of Munich and the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, is highly interdisciplinary: It teaches the fundamentals of Informatics, Mathematics, Biology, Biochemistry, and Medicine. Students learn to analyze and evaluate large, complex, and highly informative amounts of data in the fields of Biology and Biochemistry with the help of computational methods and to make them manageable for application. They also deal with new technical developments such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. Graduates of the degree program have fundamental knowledge of both Informatics and the Biosciences. They are able to provide problem-oriented support to the Life Sciences in view of their development towards genome-oriented, personalized information sciences.
