Depending on previous BSc degree, candidates are requested to follow supplementary introduction courses. Students with BSc in Computer Science follow courses in molecular biology and students with BSc in Life Science courses on programming and computer science.
Future career - Bioinformatics from Wageningen University and Research
This is a new field, thus we have no hard data on the follow-up. It is however anticipated that five years after graduation, about one third will still be employed as a scientist at an University or research center. Others will choose for a career at research-oriented pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies.
Examples of positions (not being a PhD position) and companies of graduates of the MBF program are:
- Bioinformatician (Nutricia, NIOO, Exp. cardiology UMCG, LUMC, Prinses Maxima centrum voor kinder oncologie, DDL diagnostics laboratory, Rijk Zwaan, Bejo zaden, Illumina, DDL diagnostics laboratory)
- Software developer (GenDx, iPerform software, Redhat, CM.com)
- Data scientist (DuPont, Bio-Prodict, Hyve)
- Programmer (Proigia)
