Master of Science in Biological Sciences at University of Manitoba

Expand your skill-set with advanced bioinformatics courses and develop specialisations for further study. The Graduate Certificate in Bioinformatics is designed for graduates in science, IT, engineering or an approved discipline, or experienced professionals, who wish to develop and effectively use best bioinformatics practice to solve scientific problems. It will also help provide a preparation for entry into a Higher Degree by Research program. For your half year of full-time (or part-time equivalent) studies, you'll benefit from advanced courses providing you with specialised knowledge together with valuable skills associated with your selected areas of study. This program prepares you for a highly rewarding career in a variety of organisations, including pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, research organisations and government. Program highlights Gain advanced knowledge in computational statistics, software engineering, data mining and genome informatics. Learn from academics who are leading researchers in their fields. Take advantage of links to industry, government and academic institutions in Australia and overseas.

Acquire high-level knowledge and develop practical skills relevant to modern molecular biology research or industry practice. With UQ's six-month Graduate Certificate in Molecular Biology program, you can build practical skills as you experience laboratory techniques such as electrophoresis, polymerase chain reaction, endonuclease mapping, fluorescent reporters and expression vectors. You'll develop an advanced knowledge of the structure and function of genes and the proteins they encode. Your study will cover genome sequencing, recombinant DNA technology and macromolecular structure determination. Through laboratory practicals, workshops, projects and directed study, you'll receive training in bioinformatics, molecular genetics, biomolecular structure and function, and immunology. You'll graduate with the high-level knowledge and skills to achieve your goals in modern molecular biology research or industry practice.
