What is it all about?

The Masters Program in Computational Biology & Bioinformatics is a multi-university partnership and a truly interdisciplinary program.
The program is a collaboration between the Institutes of Mathematics, Computer Science, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Zurich and the Departments of Computer Science, Biology, Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technolgoy Zurich (ETH).

The goal of the program is to provide students with a broad education in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics based on strong foundations in Computer Science, Biology and Mathematics. The curriculum includes practical experiences with experimental biology and computer science as cooperation and communication are key to success in this highly interdisciplinary field.
This interdisciplinary character will also be reflected in the policy of admitting applicants holding Bachelor degrees in a wide range of disciplines

Degrees are issued by the institution in which the students are enrolled although a conversion to a joint degree from both universities is envisioned.
