Overview
M.Sc. Bioinformatics
Aiming to nurture and direct interdisciplinary studies, GCU offers a Master’s degree in Bioinformatics. The students of this course find their skills applicable in the field of Medicine, Diagnostics, Pharmaceuticals, and Genetic studies. The discipline also focuses on designing and testing prevention procedures for infectious diseases which are yet to emerge. GCU equips the graduates of M.Sc. in Bioinformatics to apply the latest and advanced algorithms using graph theory, machine learning, image processing, and data collection, and computer simulations to real-life situations.
Focusing on applications of the coursework, it is a programme that is largely practical-based. Postgraduates find that this programme develops their programming skills, learning to code in R, Python, Bash, C, and Java. Such a wide range of skills is required to be able to judge mathematical methods and models, recognize relevant biological questions, and correctly interpret the results of the models in a biological context. The course is a lucrative one that has been gaining attention globally due to its combination of the disciplines Biology, Computer Science, and Statistics.
Highlights
A Master’s degree in Bioinformatics can empower students to apply their knowledge in the field of medicine, developing treatments and procedures for patients suffering from various illnesses. It can aid in developing prevention methods for diseases such as influenza, COVID-19, cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Biomedical research also focuses on finding genetic alterations that can treat genetic diseases. Students will learn how to apply advanced algorithms using graph theory, machine learning, image processing, and data collection and computer simulations. This Program will also help students in developing their programming skills, learning to code in R, Python, Bash, C and Java.

FAQ
Garden City University is a 28-year-old institution and INTERDISCIPLINARY in nature. The University has eight Schools under it offering courses from Diploma to Bachelor to Post graduation to PhD. The university has students from 81 different countries and every state and union territory in India. The University has the unique mix of Arts, Science and Management Education offered with Technology as the base. Be it Media studies, Life Sciences or Hotel Management, the emphasis is on practical education with the aid of technology tools to enhance learning and equip a student to work in the industry. Not to mention GCU has the credit of awarding graduation certification to 28 Colonels of the Indian Army attached to the Corps of Military Police.
The admission process is based on the courses offered at the UG and PG level.
The student goes online, fills the application with required details and files the same online for registering for the programme of choice. This will be accompanied by paying a registration fee as mentioned in the application form.
However, if the student needs any clarification, be it regarding the programme of choice or GCU as a University, entry criteria etc, the counsellors at the University are just a call away.
Once the registration process is completed, the admissions department shall communicate on further documents required and fee to be paid for the programme of choice.
Post the above process the student shall submit their original certificate to the registrar’s office for validation and verification. Once this process is completed the student gets enroled and an ID card is issued to the student. (Hostel formalities and transportation facilities are addressed in this page)
After enrolment the student shall voluntarily apply for GCU’s talent test which shall be the criteria for availing scholarship for the first year of study. Such talent test shall be conducted year on year to encourage studious students and also set the criteria for a UG student to be the most favoured student of choice for PG programmes. Apply Now
