Program Description:

Bioinformatics is the application of computer programming to the management and analysis of biological information and is used to address biological problems. Bioinformatics is essential in examining how data from biological experiments can be used to generate critical information about gene sequence and function, protein structure, molecular evolution, drug targets and disease mechanisms in today's science and technology driven world. This emerging field requires individuals with a multi-disciplinary background in biology and computer science.

This program is designed to meet the increased demand for trained bioinformatics professionals by providing further training for people holding a university degree or three-year college diploma in biotechnology (or a biotechnology-related program).

As a student in this program, you'll receive specific training in bioinformatics, focusing on:

·         computer operating systems (UNIX, Windows)

·         programming and scripting (Perl, HTML, Java)

·         data Storage, management and analysis (Oracle, SQL)

·         computer applications used in this field

·         current molecular biology laboratory techniques.

Admission Requirements:

·         A recognized degree or three year post secondary diploma from an accredited institution in Biotechnology, Biology, or a closely related field.

·         English proficiency at the postsecondary level

·         Pre-Admissions English test - Cost $55

·         Logic test

·         Applicant profile
