Overview
The Bioinformatics programme at Polytechnic University of Catalonia is aimed at students who wish to undertake research in this field.
Bioinformatics is a cross-disciplinary field that is experiencing a major expansion, in both academia and the professional sphere (hospitals, the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and agri-food sectors, etc.).
Features
- It is also a field that has a very strong base in Catalonia. Because bioinformatics is a highly interdisciplinary strategic area with significant transnational potential, one of the institutions involved in the doctoral programme is the Bioinformatics Barcelona Association (BIB), which brings together universities, research centres and companies
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- The programme brings together the best experts in the fields that bioinformatics encompasses in a programme that is unique in Catalonia and in a way that is aligned with the objectives of the BIB, thus generating greater synergies between biological and computer sciences.
- Collaboration with other universities provides us with a clear international vision and enables us to set high quality standards that are shared across institutions.
- These relationships also facilitate the involvement in the programme of experts from various fields of this highly interdisciplinary area, facilitating more effective coverage of the diverse areas that bioinformatics touches on.
- The doctoral programme in Bioinformatics aims to produce graduates who are excellent researchers and who have the knowledge and skills needed to contribute new methods, knowledge and tools that benefit present and future users of bioinformatics.

Other requirements
General requirements
- Students must have adequate knowledge of the concepts and basic tools needed to carry out competitively funded research in the field of bioinformatics. Therefore, the main entry route to the programme is via a research-oriented master's degree in a discipline that is relevant to the field of bioinformatics, and priority will be given to applicants with this background.
- The language of instruction for the programme is English. Students must therefore demonstrate a level of competence in English equivalent to Level B2 (upper intermediate) of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
