Bioinformatics, BSc (Hons)

Bioinformatics integrates computer science and molecular biology to provide fundamental insights into life processes, driven by advances in biological data collection. It is crucial for extracting meaningful information, enabling in-depth understanding of human diseases and identifying new molecular targets for drug discovery. Graduates acquire skills to address real-world life science challenges computationally.The programme offers tailored pathways, with options after Year Two to emphasize computational bioinformatics at XJTLU or lab-based molecular bioscience at the University of Liverpool. Study at XJTLU for a comprehensive curriculum in genetics, biostatistics, machine learning, and AI; proximity to BioBay's 400+ biotech firms for internships; an international research environment; access to Cold Spring Harbor Asia events; and dual degrees from XJTLU and the University of Liverpool (Russell Group).
