信息技术/科学学士-生物信息学

生物信息学是一门多学科科学，它应用计算机来增强我们对生物学的理解。生物信息学正在改变我们管理健康和环境的方式以及进行生物学研究的方式。随着行业更深入地进入遗传技术和使用计算机来模拟生物过程，各地的生物学家将越来越需要该领域的工作知识。生物信息学领域是高度跨学科的，并且对包括科研组织和生物技术部门在内的利益相关者的重要性正在日益提高。鉴于生物信息学领域固有的跨学科性质，单一专业将使学生能够将其学习与其他专业相结合。
This dual program lets you combine study in advanced information technology with a wide range of majors from the world of science. UQ's Bachelor of Information Technology will set you up for any number of career options working with computers and information, where you can apply your technical skills to solve problems, support innovation and improve communication between people. Topics covered include accounting, economics, law, marketing, business and strategy, and you'll also learn about software engineering, design, mathematics and information systems. The science program offers one of the broadest selections of disciplines in Australia, enabling you to develop your interdisciplinary scientific knowledge and practical skills while pursuing studies that suit your interests and ambitions. You'll also have the chance to gain relevant, real-world experience through employability and work-integrated learning. You'll graduate with highly developed knowledge in your specialist area, superior technical abilities, and advanced independent thinking and communication skills. <br><br>Bioinformatics is a multidisciplinary science which applies computers to enhance our understanding of biology. Bioinformatics is changing the way we manage our health and the environment and how research in biological science is conducted. Biologists everywhere will increasingly require a working knowledge of this area as industries move more deeply into genetic technologies and the use of computing to simulate biological processes. The field of Bioinformatics is highly interdisciplinary and is growing in importance to stakeholders, including scientific research organisations and the biotechnology sector. The single major will enable students to combine their studies with other majors, critical given the inherently interdisciplinary nature of the field of bioinformatics.
