This is my review of the master’s courses at the University of Göttingen.

Generally, there isn’t much going on in the summer…

  1. Machine Learning (6 C): It is definitely an important course, full of useful stuff. You need to do exercises (in groups of three people) for the exam, but the exam has nothing to do with them; it is just the math of ML.overall score: 8/10.
  2. Bioinformatik der Systembiologie (12 C): It is a really great course, containing one course, one seminar in which you need to present a paper, and an internship that you must complete with one of the PhD candidates in the group. Overall score: 9/10.
  3. Deutschkurs: Deutsch - Grundkurs 2 (A1.2.): This course is ideal for those who don’t speak German. Almost everyone achieves a good grade, but it’s categorized as a key competency and doesn’t count towards the GPA. Overall score: 6/10.

Overview of the Master’s Degree in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics

Application

Applications for this degree typically open from April 1 to May 15. Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree in biology or a related field, English proficiency at C1 level (IELTS 6.5), and must pass a knowledge test. The test covers general biology and includes some programming essay questions. The program spans two years, with the first three semesters dedicated to coursework, followed by an internship (preferably in the lab where you plan to write your master’s thesis), and finally, the thesis. The thesis can be undertaken in any lab that specializes in computational biology or bioinformatics, offering considerable flexibility.
