Bachelor in Computer Science and Computational Biology

3 Years On Campus Dual-bachelors Program

Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Program Overview

Computational techniques and algorithms are becoming a basic research tool in modern biology. For example, the progress made in determining DNA sequences opens new directions of research, in order to understand complex biological systems, explore diseases, and develop medication. The computational tools make it possible for the first time to analyze a wide range of biological information, derived from DNA sequences, protein sequences and their spatial structure. New computer technology makes it possible to quantitatively analyze the brain activity at the system level. These research breakthroughs and new technologies require a deep interdisciplinary understanding, together with fine computer science skills, a broad mind and great interest in the sciences. The program provides its graduates with a strong theoretical basis, trains them to work with advanced computer systems and gives them foundations of experimental work in the life sciences. The program includes courses in computer science and life sciences, a unit in mathematics, and complementing courses in the sciences.
