生物信息学是一门新兴的领域，利用信息学的方法存储和处理分子生物学信息（DNA、蛋白质、功能），并使分子生物学与信息学和程序设计得到结合。
生物信息学家能够从数据库中检索必要的信息，并利用这些信息进行预测。此领域将在癌症、老年痴呆症等病症开发新药方面发挥重要作用。
生物信息学包括3个角色，即：程序员的角色、信息学科学家角色以及生物信息学科学家的作用。学生需学习多种编程语言，如PHP、Python和R，并且使用最相关的数据库来学习处理、解释数据。
在程序中，无论是在Windows还是在Linux环境中，都应特别注重标准和基本工具的运用。

交换学生英语-晚课（选修）
This English course provides exchange students with an intensive training in speaking, listening, reading and writing skills, all focused on their ongoing or upcoming academic experience. The lecturer will take the diversity of academic areas of the participants into account, by addressing a range of topics and choosing subjects that are relevant to the attending students wherever possible. The course aims at the B2 proficiency level and uses the IELTS methodology. We strongly recommended it to all exchange students who have not fully achieved the B2-level in English at the moment of application for their mobility project. For the more proficient students, we still see the course as a useful immersion experience.

实习
The final step in the advanced bachelor programme is the actual experience in the work field: the traineeship. The objective is to apply several learning outcomes in work situations. Because of its size in duration and ECTS and as it is the ideal step-up in the work field, the traineeship is the perfect method to function as a bioinformatician in a complex authentic situation.Only possible to choose if enrolling for all course units in both autumn + spring semester
