Our institution provides two Master's degree pathways along with a Doctoral program, each offering the opportunity to pursue a joint specialization in Artificial Intelligence. The Master of Bioinformatics (MBinf) is a three-semester course-based program featuring coursework and a major research project, designed especially for life sciences graduates. For those with robust computational science and/or statistics backgrounds seeking to undertake extensive thesis research, we offer a six-semester thesis-based Master of Science (MSc) in Bioinformatics. MSc thesis candidates can opt to enroll in the Artificial Intelligence Collaborative Specialization. The twelve-semester PhD program mandates successful completion of both a qualifying examination and defense of an original research thesis.
