In addition, you will have personalized tutoring and academic guidance service, and constant technical support, so that your experience is as simple and enriching as possible.

Admission profile

The recommended entry profile is that of students with an interest in data processing and analysis, wanting to obtain an interdisciplinary profile and with interests in branches of biology such as genomics or proteomics and in computer science. To access the University Master's Degree in Bioinformatics, students must have a Bachelor's, Bachelor's or Diploma in one of the studies detailed below:

• Profile 1: Degrees in the field of Biological, Agri-food and Food Technology Sciences, Agri-Food Engineering, Medicine, Dentistry, Biomedicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, Human Nutrition and Dietetics and Veterinary Medicine.
• Profile 2: Degrees in the field of Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Data Sciences.
• Profile 3: Degrees in the field of Physical, Chemical and Mathematical Sciences

In order to compensate for possible training differences, students with Profile 1 will be required to take the Linux Fundamentals and Shell Scripting training supplement; students with Profile 2 who take the Biological Bases of Bioinformatics training supplement and, finally, that students with Profile 3 take both training supplements. The training complements will be carried out during the month prior to the beginning of the Master, being necessary their qualification as suitable for obtaining the title of University Master in Bioinformatics.
