About this program
The Master of Bioinformatics (Research Extensive) is a postgraduate program at UQ's St Lucia campus for biological sciences, computing and mathematics graduates who want a longer laboratory and research immersion than the standard Master of Bioinformatics. Students build technical and research skills in core areas of bioinformatics, update their knowledge of recent technologies, and complete an independent research project on campus or in industry. Graduates work in genomics and computational biology research, biotechnology and health data science, and are well prepared for a research higher degree.
