Computational biology uoa

Computational Biology is designed to equip people with fundamental knowledge and skills across biology, computer science, mathematics and statistics in order

Researchers in computational biology specialise in creating computational models of living systems and fitting them to real data. We develop state of the art software for probabilistic modelling of genomic data and other evolving systems.

Can I study computational biology as a specialisation?

You can study Computational Biology as a specialisation in the Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) (BAdvSci (Hons))

As a Computational Biology student you’ll take a range of complementary courses from the following subject areas: Your BAdvSci (Hons) programme will consist of a number of courses worth 15 points each, totalling 480 points

What is a practical component of a biology course?

The Practical Component of the course is the computer lab exercises (60% of the course marks)

The Theory Component of the course consists of the Quizzes and Final Exam (40% of the course marks total)

A pass must be obtained in BOTH the practical and the theory sections to pass any biological sciences paper as a whole

Why is computational biology important to Carnegie Mellon?

"Computational biology represents a dynamic and rapidly evolving field of study that is part of a revolution of scientific discovery fueled in Carnegie Mellon's unique culture of collaboration across disciplinary boundaries," said Martial Hebert, dean of the School of Computer Science
