BA/BS in Bioinformatik

The bachelor's programme in Bioinformatics is run jointly by LMU Munich and the Technical University of Munich. It answers biological questions with computer science methods, because modern computing and mathematical models are needed to analyse the data generated by life science research. The programme prepares students for work where biology meets computing. Graduates can combine knowledge of biology, biochemistry and medicine with programming and data analysis. The subject arose from the need to interpret genome sequencing and similar data. The joint offer has existed for years and draws on the expertise of both universities.
