Overview

Discover the Secrets of Biology with IT Tools

Bioinformatics is a science at the intersection of computer science and life sciences. By processing ever-increasing amounts of biological data, bioinformatics transforms data into information, paving the way for further scientific discoveries. Bioinformatics knowledge is indispensable in all areas of biotechnology, including personalised medicine, drug and vaccine development, and database and software development for biomedical data.

Get Ahead in Your Career

As the healthcare, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries rely more and more on data analytics and artificial intelligence, the demand for professionals with biological knowledge and programming/analysis skills is growing. Market analysts* estimate a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.0% for the bioinformatics sector, supporting the need for people with complex skills. The Bioinformatics MSc at Pázmány ITK will prepare you to find your place in this dynamically growing market with its ever-new discoveries.
