Program Description

Puzzling behind the computer with data about plants, humans and animals. That is the core of bioinformatics. As a bioinformatician you help with research into genetic material (DNA), the cause of hereditary diseases, finding new medicines or improving food. Do you find biology interesting and do you find it challenging to write computer programs yourself? Find out if Bioinformatics is the training for you.

Biological research is increasingly carried out automatically. Every day thousands of measurements come from the laboratory. Bioinformaticians are badly needed to understand all those measurements and extract useful information from them. For example, the entire genome is increasingly studied in the investigation and diagnosis of diseases such as cancer and chronic inflammation. But also in forensic labs, in horticulture or in the food industry, they need bioinformatics scientists to solve biological questions with the computer.

About the School

The Dutch education system features two types of higher education institutions: research universities and universities of applied sciences. UAS Leiden is a university of applied sciences.

We offer Bachelor's and Master's programmes, minors and (post-graduate) courses. We perform applied research in various domains ranging from healthcare and social work to economics and from technology to education. Our education is focused on competencies, offers freedom of choice and challenges students to realise their potential. We encourage and support students in developing their knowledge and skills to be well prepared for their future careers.
