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 91ÌÒÉ« 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. Gradautes are thus just as well qualified to continue their scientific education in a research-oriented Master’s degree program as they are to start a career in the field of research and development.

The degree is oriented towards an interdisciplinary vocational education and training in biology / chemistry and informatics. In the first two years of study, students acquire foundational knowledge of the respective disciplines of mathematics, informatics, biology, and chemistry. You receive a comprehensive introduction to bioinformatics that brings together the individual disciplines. In the final year of the bachelor's degree there is a clear emphasis on bioinformatics, including with regard to the bachelor's thesis, along with specialized courses in informatics and molecular biology.
