Master of Science - Data Science for Biology

University of East Anglia's interdisciplinary MSc Data Science for Biology is designed to equip students with comprehensive knowledge and skills in data mining, bioinformatics, and statistics. Students will become proficient in the analysis of biological data, learning essential skills such as statistical analysis, data visualisation, and bioinformatics techniques. They will master the tools required to analyse complex biological data, including Python and R. They will also have exciting opportunities to collaborate with industry partners at the Norwich Research Park, such as the Earlham Institute, John Innes Centre, and Quadram Institute.  

At UEA, students will be part of the vibrant research community within the School of Biological Sciences. The programs take a uniquely integrated approach, connecting biology at all scales - from molecules, genes, and genomes to populations and ecological communities. In the 2021 Research Excellence Framework, 92% of the program's research was classified as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent,’ offering students unparalleled research opportunities.
