Master Bioinformatics and Biocomplexity, Course schedule

Bioinformatics and BioComplexity (BiBC), course schedule

We have opted to offer most of our advanced bioinformatics courses in the first two periods of the academic year. This way you can learn all the theory you need to start an internship efficiently. In 2020 we expect that most courses will be taught mostly online due to all Corona measures that will even affect this academic year. When possible we will startup face to face and classroom lectures!

(FC = Free choice course that can be taken as part of the theoretical phase or Electives)

Period 1: Theoretical (obligatory) courses (Osiris numbers can be found in the table at the end)

• Sept 1 to 4: Introduction GSLS
• Sept 7 to Oct 16: (timeslot B/C) Biological Modelling or Bioinformatics and Genomics (depending on your pre-knowledge and after consultation with the coordinator)
• Sept 7 to Oct 16: (timeslot A/D) Essentials course (BiBC obligatory)
• Oct 19 to 30: Advanced R (full time, FC)
• Nov 1 to 6: Advanced Bioinformatics (full time, FC)

Period 2

• Nov 9 to Feb 5: (Timeslot B/C) Computational Biology (FC)
• Nov 16 to 20: Advanced comics (full time, FC)
• Nov 23 to dec 4: Bioinformatics and Evol. Genomics (full time, FC)
• Dec 7 to 18: Microbial Genomics (full time, FC)
• Jan 11 to 22 (2021): Cancer Genomics (full time, FC)
• Jan 25 to feb 5: Structural Bioinformatics (full time, FC)
• Feb 8 to feb 19: Analytics and Algorithms (full time, FC) Officially this is in period 3
