Overview

We offer a Computational Life Sciences degree at the Utrecht University. In modern biology bioinformatics plays an essential role in analysing data and modelling is required to help us understand these intricate biological systems.

Features

Thus, a major challenge in the next decades is to extract useful information from vast amounts of biological data and to develop computational models to investigate the complex dynamics of living organisms.

Other requirements

General requirements

PhD candidates in Computational Life Sciences should be highly motivated and ideally have a strong background in the life sciences as well as in computational modelling.

Because of the interdisciplinary nature of our PhD programme the criteria for admission are flexible and depend on the background of the PhD candidate and the requirements of the PhD project.

An optimal preparation for a PhD candidate in Computational Life Sciences is the track Computational Biology in the Master’s programme Molecular & Cellular Life Sciences of the Graduate School of Life Sciences.
