Biostatistics: the students can coordinate and supervise the design and analysis stage of statistical studies; they master the whole spectrum of different statistical modelling techniques with in-depth theoretical insights (repeated measurements, survival analysis, ...) and can interpret results of corresponding statistical analysis correctly and accurately. Bioinformatics: the students can coordinate and supervise the design and analysis stage of statistical studies; they know the necessary foundations of molecular biology and specialized knowledge and applied skills in database management, programming, statistical techniques, and knowledge discovery and integration, as required in the rapidly evolving research fields in genomics and proteomics. General: they have developed an overall analytic and synthetic intellectual capacity; and are able to develop new concepts autonomously. Interdisciplinary competences: the students are able to get sufficiently acquainted with application areas (public health, food safety, biology, clinical trials, toxicology, genetics, genomics, proteomics...) in order to operate efficiently in a multidisciplinary research team; and they have developed interrelational skills and are trained to act in an international environment; they are able to write scientific reports and give oral presentations according to internationally established standards; the students have a mature and practical view on the role and the impact of biostatistics on policy making in public health, agriculture, environment, ... and are willing to face ethical considerations and issues. |
