Distance courses in bioinformatics and systems biology

[Heather Vincent]

At the University of Manchester, UK, we have over 10 years experience in
providing distance courses, at Masters level, to participants from a
range of backgrounds, including Biology, Healthcare, Medicine and
Computer Science. These courses are designed to enable biologists and
computer scientists to update their skills while remaining in the
workplace. Our distance courses are also very suitable for home study,
helping you to keep in touch with a research environment while taking a
career break. Participants continuing to Masters level will complete a
research project.

The courses beginning on 5 October 2009 include:

- Introduction to Bioinformatics

- Bioinformatics for Systems Biology
(http://octette.cs.man.ac.uk/bioinformatics/modules/BIOL61820.html)
