A joint MSc programme of Politecnico di Milano and Università degli Studi di Milano, held in English. It provides students with up-to-date knowledge and multi-disciplinary skills in bioinformatics and genomics necessary to pursue a career in basic or applied modern biological research. Students will develop skills in acquiring and analyzing different types of “-omic” big data, with a strong problem-solving approach and a solid knowledge in: analysis and characterization of genomes and genomic variants; analysis and characterization of gene expression and its regulation; collection, storage and retrieval of “-omic” big data sets; computational and statistical approaches to the analysis of big data. Università degli Studi di Milano will offer the courses focused on biological topics, while Politecnico will offer the computational ones. The subjects in bold are mandatory.
1st year – 1st semester Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Biology; Biochemistry; Organic Chemistry; Programming and Data Bases; Statistics; Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
1st year – 2nd semester Genomics and Transcriptomics; Scientific Programming; Machine Learning; Biostatistics
2nd year – 1st semester Advanced Genomics and Epigenomics; Structural Chemistry; Systems Biology and Network Analysis; Interdisciplinary project; Genomic Big Data Management and Computing
Thesis An internship working on a project in a research laboratory, for at least 6 months.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE
All applicants need to provide a document attesting their English language knowledge. This is a requirement both for English and for Italian taught programmes.
ACCEPTED DOCUMENTS:
ATTENTION! Your English certificate must be verified after your arrival to Italy and right before the beginning of classes. There are only two possible ways to do this:
a. You bring the ORIGINAL certificate with you at your arrival to Italy
or
b. You request the institute where you passed the test to send the result directly to the Politecnico di Milano (TOEFL code 9795)
Photocopies or PDF files will be not considered as official documents.

PHD
The "Laurea" (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) programme is an undergraduate degree obtained after a three-year course of study and aims to provide a solid foundation in the core scientific subjects as well as more specialized, professional training. During the third year, the student is expected to acquire work experience by doing an internship at a company or studio. Once the student obtains the "Laurea", he/she can either directly enter the job market or continue his/her studies by the applying to the "Laurea Magistrale" (equivalent to Master of Science).
For more information on the available programmes and on the application procedure, please check the university website.
