  1. Stockholm Bioinformatics Center Stockholm University and Royal Institute of Technology (and Karolinska Institutet) Bioinformatics Masters programs in Stockholm and Sweden

  2. Current status • No current “masters” program (master degree does not exist) • 4,5 year (270 ECTS) engineering programs at KTH (translated to masters in english) • 60 students in biotechnology • 120 students in physics • 200 (?) computer science students • 4 (240 ECTS) Years “magister” program at SU in any subject • Very strong students at KTH

  3. Plans • General KTH plan to create a“masters” program as the last 18 month of biotechnology, physics and computer science engineering programs • Will most likely be a real master when Bologna process is ratified in Sweden (2006?) • The project will be expanded from 6-12 months. • In 2005 will expand current courses • Introductory bioinformatics • Computational structural biology • Algorithms • Masters program in 2006

  4. Other programs in Sweden • 18 Month masters program in bioinformatics Chalmers, Gothenburg • Mainly foreign students (it is free) • Mixed background (mainly computer science/math) • 4.5 years engineering program in bioinformatics in Uppsala • Many biotechnology programs with bioinformatics as a part of them • Swedish Learning Lab, distance teaching in bioinformatics.

  5. Questions • Will it be a need for local industry ? • What background is needed ? • Should it be separated from biotechnology/life science ?
