The Bachelor of Computer Science specializing in Bioinformatics is a new academic programmed offered by the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Systems; specially tailored to produce Computer Scientists who are able to utilize Computer Science techniques in managing and analyzing biological data, modelling biological processes, solving biological problems, and developing and discovering new findings in the field of biology.

Bioinformatics is the field of science in which biology, computer science and information technology merge together to form a single discipline. The study exposes the students to algorithms and software for simulations of biochemical processes and the analysis of molecular biology data. Interdisciplinary collaboration, linking life science with computer science, makes bioinformatics an exciting field of study.
