MSc (Biostatistics) at National University of Ireland Galway

Bioinformatics combines biology, biochemistry, mathematics, statistics and computer science for analyzing and understanding the biochemical processes of life. If your passion is understanding biological processes, genetics, or diseases using biological information, this program would suit you well.

A Bachelor of Science in biology affords students several long-term career goals. Four concentrations are offered including biology, environmental biology, medical technology, and molecular biology/biotechnology. The major requirements for all degrees are similar in the first two years, allowing students to switch between degree options and to readjust career objectives. All degrees are designed to prepare the student for success in the job market or pursuing advanced studies. The biology programs also prepare students for a variety of health careers including pre-medical, pre-veterinary, prechiropractic and pre-dental. The necessary training to pursue other careers in the health sciences is also available through the pre-professional programs. This program is offered only at the Clarion campus.

Clarion University's program in ecology and evolutionary biology is a multidisciplinary program of study leading to a B.S. in biology with a concentration in ecology and evolutionary biology. By their very nature, ecology and evolutionary biology are subjects that cut across the lines of traditional biology curricula. The ecology and evolutionary biology program is designed to emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of these fields and other biological sciences such as genetics, physiology and molecular biology. The primary goal of the EEB program is to prepare students for advanced, graduate-level studies in organismal biology. We strive to develop the critical thinking and problem solving skills that form the foundation for graduate studies in ecology and evolution. Our undergraduates have opportunities to become involved in collaborative faculty-student research, and the results of these projects are regularly presented at scientific meetings and published in scientific journals. Clarion graduates have been successful in ecology and evolutionary biology programs at both the master's and doctoral level. Our graduates currently work in academia, private industry, and for local, state, and federal governments. This program is offered only at the Clarion campus.
