Major : Computer Science for Biology and Health

The teaching units of the major are dedicated to the fundamentals of Bioinformatics. They represent 45 ECTS :


Minor 1: Interfaces of Biology with Computer Science and Data Science

This minor opens a large number possibilities : engineering positions as bioinformaticians or bioinformaticians data scientists, or PhD students positions integated in biologists teams or in pure bioinformatics teams.

The teaching units covers a large spectra and can be chosen in accordance to the student's professional project. They represent 30 ECTS to choose between:


Minor 2: Bioinformatics for Health

This minor opens to engineering positions as bioinformaticians or PhD students with medical applications. The teaching units are common with medecine students. They represent 30 ECTS:


Minor 3: Genetics and Genomics

This minor opens to engineering positions as bioinformaticians or PhD students with high genomics competences. The teaching units are common with students studying molecular and cellular biology. They represent 30 ECTS:


Minor 4: Complementary Competence in Bioinformatics

This minor is a 1-year formation. Students are recruited with a validated previous master 2 degree (or a PhD), and follow an intensive formation in bioinformatics during the Autumn semester, followed by a long internship during Spring semester. At the end of the formation, students are granted a master 2 degree in Bioinformatics.

The content of the CCB minor is usually personalized. A typical formation could be :
