New: Master of Science (Laurea Magistrale) in Quantitative and Computational Biology

University of Trento, Italy

a multidisciplinary degree that formally integrates quantitative sciences and applied biology, thanks to the following organizations at the University of Trento:

• CIBIO, Centre for integrative biology
• Department of Physics
• Department of Mathematics
• Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science

Entirely taught in English, the course is designed to capture the increasing need for researchers and experts able to:

• transform the enormous amount of biological information ("big data") into knowledge
• gain quantitative insight into the behaviour of biological systems by means of bio-mathematical and bio-physical models

Two tracks: "Biotechnological Track" and "Computational Track", based on the student educational background

• First year: opportunity to integrate the student’s scientific background based on their first-level degree, and focus on selected biotechnological or computational topics

• Second year: further emphasis on biotechnological or computational topics and preparation of the master thesis, with a rotation system among research groups

Application Deadlines: 20th July 2015
