Bioinformatics Graduate Programs at U of G

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.
