The Master's course in Bioinformatics started in winter term 2001/2002. The last student finished in winter term 2007/2008. 40 students finished the course: most of them doing their PhD now. Despite excellent evaluations, the Master’s course could not be continued, because of serious financial problems of the TFH Berlin.
The Master's course in Bioinformatics at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Berlin was intended for graduates (Bachelor, Master, Diploma, or State examination) of the subjects biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, medicine, pharmacy, and related subjects, who are interested in mathematics and computer science, and want to acquire knowledge in the young area of bioinformatics. The course duration was three semesters. The course finishing degree was a Master of Science (MSc) in Bioniformatics.
In this course the foundations of computer science and bioinformatics were taught. This includes, among other things, working under Unix/Linux, learning of an object-oriented programming language (Java), a script language (Perl), and a database system (PostgreSQL).
This postgraduate Master's course was supported by the BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education and Research of Germany) as a part of the project BCB - Berlin Center for Genome Based Bioinformatics.
