Program Goals:
The BSc (Bioinformatics) degree requires students to study both computing and Life Science subjects to an advanced level. If you think you are interested in bioinformatics, but are doubtful about your commitment to both aspects, there are several other degrees to consider at the University of Sydney. If you are interested in biosciences, but not sure if computer science is for you, then enrol in the BSc, BSc (Molecular Biology and Genetics), BSc (Molecular Biotechnology) or BSc (Advanced). If you are interested in computing, but not sure whether you want to apply this knowledge to biosciences you can enrol in the BSc, BSc (Advanced), BSc (Molecular Biology and Genetics) or BCST degree. A student who begins in another program with appropriate subjects may apply to transfer to the BSc (Bioinformatics) after completing first year. |
