Content

In this course you will deal with what are called the 'life sciences', which include chemistry, biology and pharmaceutics, and with traditional computer science. At the beginning of the course you will learn the basics of mathematics, biology, chemistry and computer science and you will later have the opportunity to specialize in an area you are especially interested in.

Our work is constantly closely related to practical applications so that we can prepare you for the career ahead of you. During the course you will get a good feel for what it means to be a bioinformatician.

Course modules

You can find the complete curriculum in the course description on the corresponding German page or in the course guidelines. Module descriptions are provided in the module catalogue.

Preparatory courses

Before the beginning of the semester THM offers one-week preparatory courses in subjects like Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Programming for new students who would like to brush up on their previous knowledge and fill in the gaps. A fee is charged for preparatory courses and students must register to take them.

Careers

Graduates of the course can find careers as software developers in the pharmaceutical industry or conduct scientific research in a research facility.

Your advantage is the fact that continuous technological advances will create a demand for specialists who can evaluate large amounts of data resulting from these advances. Because the occupational group you belong to will be small, your expertise will be in great demand.
