New: Master of Science (Laurea Magistrale) in Quantitative and Computational Biology
University of Trento, Italy
a multidisciplinary degree that formally integrates quantitative sciences and applied biology, thanks to the following organizations at the University of Trento:
- CIBIO, Centre for integrative biology
- Department of Physics
- Department of Mathematics
- Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science
Entirely taught in English, the course is designed to capture the increasing need for researchers and experts able to:
- transform the enormous amount of biological information ("big data") into knowledge
- gain quantitative insight into the behaviour of biological systems by means of bio-mathematical and bio-physical models
Two tracks: "Biotechnological Track" and "Computational Track", based on the student educational background
First year: opportunity to integrate the student’s scientific background based on their first-level degree, and focus on selected biotechnological or computational topics
Second year: further emphasis on biotechnological or computational topics and preparation of the master thesis, with a rotation system among research groups
Application Deadlines: 20th July 2015
