Bachelor of Science in Bioinformatics/Bachelor of Science - Computer Science - Dual Degree

Program Overview

In this degree you'll study a wide range of science subjects. You're encouraged to choose a variety of courses in your first year, and later to choose from more than 20 major options. This gives you time to become more familiar with the different areas of science and to explore possible majors.

The Computer Science component of this double degree emphasises the basic principles behind computing tools, operating systems, compilers and translators, and computer hardware. You'll study the representation of data and data structures and the design of algorithms, as well as the creation of hardware and software tools and the role of non-computing elements in the design and development process.

Major: Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics sits at the intersection of computing and life sciences. It involves the development of technologies to work with and manage the huge volumes of genetic information being generated. It applies the methods/discipline of computer science and statistics to the data/goals of molecular biology. Bioinformatics provides a computational framework to analyse data and generate new knowledge in the life sciences. As a bioinformatics student, you'll learn how to design and implement software for activities such as identifying cancer genes. This science major covers the foundational disciplines of bioinformatics: biology, computing algorithms, machine learning, mathematics and statistics. 

Bioinformatics is a central enabling discipline in the life sciences with the explosion in high-throughput data generated by "omics" technologies, such as genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics. While scientists previously focused on singular cells, the enormous development in bioinformatics over the last decade has enabled us to study cells on a mass scale.
