Biosciences Computational Biology

Research in the biological sciences has become increasingly computational in recent decades, with modern research often using high-performance computing, machine learning and artificial intelligence to analyse very large and complex datsets. The Division of Biosciences has an exceptional portfolio of computational research and provides opportunities to study computational biology at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Biosciences staff teach on several undergraduate programs, including the MSci Computational Biology pathway that is available on the Biological Sciences degree programme.

Undergraduate

Collections of data
The UCL MRes in Biosciences Computational Biology stream allows students to undertake a major research project and gain in-depth knowledge of computational biology, while several other MRes and MSc programmes include strong computational elements.

Masters

Hand holding data sample
GEE has a thriving postgraduate programme. It recruits 15-20 PhD students per annum from a variety of sources including Research Councils, Charity, UCL schemes and a number of inter-disciplinary centres across UCL.
