BA/BS in Bioinformatik

Bioinformatics at the Gießen campus is for students who like biology but prefer not to work directly in a laboratory. Biomedical research produces very large amounts of data, and the programme teaches how to write and use the software that prepares, evaluates and analyses it. The study plan includes data science programming, compulsory modules and electives, with close attention to professional practice. The plan shown applies to a winter-semester start, and a separate plan exists for a summer start. No admission restriction applies; students only need to enrol within the deadline. Teaching is in German. The programme is based at the Gießen location of Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen, with German listed as the language of instruction. The programme has open admission, so no selection procedure applies. The standard period of study is 6 semesters. A start is possible in the winter or the summer semester.
