The programme is intended for students who wish to gain a solid foundation in bioinformatics – a dynamic and rapidly evolving field at the intersection of computer science, biology, and chemistry. Students will become familiar with the nature of biological and biochemical data and will learn to design and apply modern information technologies for their analysis and for solving specific biological problems. In addition to an initial orientation within this interdisciplinary domain, students will acquire practical skills essential for a smooth transition into professional practice. The programme also offers the opportunity for specialisation through elective courses based on the chosen study track – either focused on the development of bioinformatics tools (with an emphasis on courses taught at the Faculty of Informatics), or on their application in biological research (with an emphasis on courses at the Faculty of Science).

After completing the programme, graduates are well-prepared to enter the job market as qualified bachelor’s degree holders, with the option to further develop their expertise in line with career goals. A common path is to continue in the follow-up Master’s programme in Bioinformatics, jointly run by the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Informatics, which offers specialisations in structural modelling, systems modelling, or sequence analysis. Alternatively, graduates may pursue other relevant Master's degrees offered by either faculty.

Requirements for successful graduation

• Obtain at least 180 credits overall and pass the final state exam.
• Obtain 10 credits for SBAPR course and successfully defend Bachelor's Thesis. See more details.
