Key Summary
About: This Bachelor in Genomics gives theoretical and practical training in applying IT, mathematics and statistics to genomic and multi‑omic data. The international environment and practical activities are central, and the course includes a curricular internship in university or external facilities in Italy or abroad. You’ll learn genetics, molecular biology, programming, biostatistics, computational simulation, genomic data mining, annotation and management, analysis of cell populations and biological communities, and elements of bioethics.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can work in academia, clinical labs, biotech or pharma as bioinformatician; genomic data analyst; computational biologist; biostatistician; laboratory technician; research assistant; PhD researcher; and data scientist.
The programme provides theoretical and practical basis for applying IT, mathematical and statistical skills to the analysis of genomic, and multi-omic, data. The international environment, together with numerous practical activities are distinctive elements of the course. Training is completed by the curricular internship, in university or external facilities, in Italy or abroad.
What you will study
The programme provides strong knowledge in genetics and molecular biology, as well as competences in computer programming, biostatistics, and computational simulations. Graduates will gain: biocomputing skills for genomic data mining, annotation, and management; theoretical and practical skills for the analysis of biological communities, cell populations and complex systems; elements of bioethics.
University students may obtain economic support during their studies from the Emilia-Romagna Region, the University of Bologna, and other external bodies.
