Bioinformatics & Biostatistics Master's in Sweden

Sweden is a very ambitious, eco-friendly, and visionary country. For example, by 2040, it aims to produce all its energy from renewable sources. Universities play an important role in achieving development goals, thanks to their world-class research facilities. If you’re from the EU/EEA, you can study at public universities for free. As a student, you will discover and easily adopt the three main values of Swedish society: freedom, equality, and sustainability. These values are reflected in every aspect of the local society, and you’ll quickly learn to appreciate them. Language barriers are also almost non-existent since around 80% of Swedes speak English.

Bioinformatics degrees combine advanced knowledge of Biology with software programming, machine learning, data mining and interpretation. Bioinformatics scientists gather biological data and turn it into digestible, comprehensive information that is used for research. You'll study coding languages as well as genetics and genomics that will help develop treatments and prevention methods for genetic diseases. Bioinformatics graduates start interdisciplinary careers in medical research, pharmaceutical companies, and software development.
