Students study six taught modules and then undertake a research project. Web-based options make these modules available to research professionals wishing to study part- time. Participants communicate with the course tutors and with each other using bulletin boards and chat rooms for on-line tutorials. They also have access to the Distance Learning Service provided by the University Library. We now offer eight modules, which may be studied individually, or as part of a formal qualification. The modules follow two themes, Bioinformatics and Computer Science. The Bioinformatics modules are: Introduction to Molecular Biology for Computer Scientists Introduction to Bioinformatics (Bioinformatics 1) Microarray data analysis (Bioinformatics 2) Theory and Applications in Bioinformatics The computing modules are: C for Bioinformatics Java Biocomputing Object-oriented analysis and design with UML The module fee for 2002/2003 is £600.
