About this programme

The University of Guelph offers three different graduate programs for you to find your best fit. The Master of Bioinformatics (M.Binf.) program is a 3-semester course-based master’s that was designed for students with little to no formal background in programming; it provides you with the skills to analyze datasets and develop new bioinformatics approaches. The M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Bioinformatics programs are traditional thesis-based degrees that provide you the opportunity to perform international-level research in bioinformatics in order to develop new tools and new models to explain biology. Our three programs train you for positions in industry, the public sector, and academia, and allow you to conduct bioinformatics research. Thanks to our interdisciplinary faculty, a wide variety of research projects pertaining to bioinformatics are available on campus.
