4 Πληροφορική Υγείας και Τεχνολογία MSc (Μεταπτυχιακό Δίπλωμα Ειδίκευσης Επιστημών) Degree Programs in Λουντ Σουηδία

Enormous amounts of biological data are generated in medicine, biochemistry and biology. This creates a high demand for talented, experienced graduates from biology, statistics and computer science with knowledge in bioinformatics. In the Master’s programme in Bioinformatics at Lund University, students with different educational backgrounds come together and learn the tools to analyse biological data using computational methods. The programme is well suited for anyone who wants to work as a bioinformatician in the future or apply bioinformatics tools in their work and research.

Biotechnology is a key enabling technology that impacts various sectors, such as healthcare and pharmaceuticals, agriculture, food and feed, environmental remediation, as well as the production of chemicals and biofuels. In this programme, students learn about the scientific and technological aspects of biotechnology processes, biocatalysts (enzymes and micro-organisms), gene technology, analytical tools, product recovery and process design. The graduates will acquire broad knowledge and skills for the development of efficient biocatalysts, sustainable bioprocesses for product manufacturing, wastewater treatment, and tools for analyses and medicine. The staff comprises well-established scientists with strong research and industrial networks, giving students good job prospects both locally and internationally.

Το πρόγραμμα Master έχει μεγάλο ποσοστό προγραμματισμένων μαθημάτων και η αλληλεπίδραση με το διδακτικό προσωπικό και τους βοηθούς μαθημάτων είναι χαλαρή. Το πρόγραμμα διεξάγεται σε διεθνές περιβάλλον και έχει ισχυρούς δεσμούς με την έρευνα. Όλο το διδακτικό προσωπικό είναι ερευνητές, με αποτέλεσμα η διδασκαλία να προσαρμόζεται συνεχώς με βάση την τρέχουσα έρευνα. Το Τμήμα Βιολογίας διαθέτει πολλές παγκοσμίως κορυφαίες ερευνητικές ομάδες και διεξάγει τόσο βασικές όσο και εφαρμοσμένες έρευνες. Η γλώσσα διδασκαλίας είναι η αγγλική.

This programme connects fundamental research with its applications and integrates genetics, gene technology, cell biology, molecular biology and molecular biotechnology. The common basis is within molecular genetics, which is the discipline that explains how the information in the genes is expressed and how it can give rise to various traits in an organism. Emphasis is put on genetic mechanisms underlying disease, genetic mapping, molecular genetic techniques and diagnostic methods. Training in entrepreneurship and processes of innovation and commercialisation in the molecular biotechnology field provides a fundamental base for careers in biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry. A majority of the graduated students continue with PhD studies, often within the biomedical research field.
