Master in MSc Life Science Informatics

The MSc Life Science Informatics at Deggendorf Institute of Technology is a three-semester programme starting in the winter semester, based in Deggendorf. The programme focuses on the computational processing and analysis of next-generation sequencing data derived from the genetic material of humans, animals, and plants, with applications in personalised medicine and molecular diagnostics. The first two semesters consist of regular coursework, and the third semester is dedicated to the master's thesis. Students gain knowledge spanning medical and scientific foundations alongside application-oriented computer science, with a specific emphasis on understanding gene function, regulation, and interaction. Bioinformatic skills are developed through practical application throughout the programme. On successful completion, students are awarded the degree of Master of Science, which formally qualifies them to pursue doctoral studies. The programme is offered at Deggendorf Institute of Technology in Deggendorf, Germany.
