Course summary

This course prepares you with the knowledge and skills required to join a growing international workforce within the rapidly advancing field of biological data science, an area of ever-increasing importance in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.

The course design reflects our extensive industry interactions. You will learn a broad spectrum of skills and knowledge for a successful career in a variety of academic, industrial and science-related sectors related to data sciences in a biological or biomedical context.

You will gain skills in using computational methods to access and analyse data, make predictions, construct models and evaluate model quality. As a new data scientist, you will build your programming skills for specific data analysis purposes. There will be a focus on the different algorithms for machine learning, statistical analysis and data modelling.

You will apply sophisticated analysis methods to discover the deeper meaning behind the complex data generated by biological and biomedical research in such areas as -omics (genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics), microscopy and imaging, protein structure analysis, and in the process of drug discovery.

You will enhance your critical skills in information retrieval, research ethics, entrepreneurship, statistics, analysis of current science and literature, as well as transferable skills in presentation and communication, data visualisation, team-working, problem solving, and project management.

The course will allow you to learn about and experience the world leading collection of cutting edge technology platforms in the biosciences on offer at the University of Dundee. Alternatively, you can choose to gain an understanding and practical knowledge of molecular modelling and simulation in the fields of biology and drug design.

Careers

This course provides you with a targeted training opportunity for those interested in a career in the rapidly advancing field of data science related to biological datasets, including those generated through the techniques prevalent in biological research.

Pharmaceutical industries, universities and academic research institutes have reported difficulty in recruiting suitably skilled applicants, and this course has been developed to meet that need. Strong employability prospects are predicted for our graduates.
