The study programme is conducted with the participation of teachers and researchers of Faculties of Mathematics and Informatics, Life Sciences Center and research institutes.

It’s worth studying because:

- the programme consists of combination of course units in mathematics, computer science and life sciences, developing skills to apply mathematical methods and information technologies for exploration of biological data;
- the programme provides the skills of how to use different mathematical models and programming in various languages;
- practical data analysis is a big part of this programme;
- the students are given the opportunity to have a practical experience at the companies, science labs or at the state organisations in Lithuania or abroad during study period.

Career opportunities

The graduates will be able to work in the enterprises, research laboratories and centres, were analysis of the data of biological origin is required, will be able to use, modify and create the bioinformatics software. Having the basic knowledge and skills in Computer Science they also will be able to work in different IT enterprises and organisations developing complex software products.
