Key characteristics of program:
SysMIC is an online course in coding, modelling &amp; data analysis for bioscience researchers.<br />
<br />
The module includes access to a comprehensive range of resources including course textbook, assignments, webinars and self-test quizzes, with dedicated module tutors who provide individual support through online forums.<br />
<br />
Participants will become confident in using the Python, R and MATLAB platforms, developing interdisciplinary skills that will make them more effective researchers with the confidence to develop and apply computational techniques in modelling and data analysis to their own work.<br />
<br />
Our materials were designed by bioscientists, for bioscientists and are focused on biological applications, and practical approaches that let participants develop coding and analysis skills while working in familiar contexts.<br />
<br />
The module has a fully flexible format. We recommend 5 hours of study a week over a 6 month period, which has been shown to fit well with the varying workload of research commitments, offering participants the opportunity to study at a time and pace that suits them.<br />
<br />
We are a well established and recognized course. Each year we welcome over 300 participants from across the UK research community who come from a wide range of academic (and industrial) backgrounds, and the module is approved by the Royal Society of Biology's CPD points scheme.<br />
<br />
Module 1 registrations are held twice yearly in April and November. Discounted rates are available for PhD students and group bookings. <br />
<br />
