Program details

Overview

The one-year postgraduate diploma develops computer programming skills in students who have no prior background in computer science, and these are enriched with applied bioinformatics training. Students study genome biology first, covering the structure and function of the genome, next-generation DNA sequencing, genome assembly, and the use of public genomic databases. Teaching is online with evening delivery, so the programme can be taken full time or part time. It carries 60 credits and leads to a Postgraduate Diploma in Science at NFQ Level 9.
