Distance courses in computational biology

[hmv]

The online courses from the University of Manchester, UK, might be useful to members of this forum. We offer a range of modules designed to provide opportunities for professional development in, for example, R, perl and database design. Those wishing to progress to the MSc in Digital Biology will complete a supported research project.

The next courses begin on 4 October 2010. Bioinformatics for Systems Biology (http://octette.cs.man.ac.uk/bioinfor...BIOL61820.html) is already full, but there are still places available on :

Introduction to software development in Java
Introduction to Health Informatics
Biocomputing
Computational Systems Biology

You can also book early for the courses running in March 2011. The March courses will include :

Mathematics for metabolic modelling
Introduction to BioHealth Informatics
Introduction to microarray data analysis
Databases and data modelling
Object-oriented analysis and design with UML

I've just graduated from the distance learning MSc (when it was called MSc Bioinformatics) and can definitely recommend it
