ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Normally an upper second-class Honours degree or equivalent in a relevant subject. Professional experience may be taken into account. Applicants with a lower second-class Honours degree in a relevant subject will be considered on a case by case basis.

在相关的科目中，通常是上二等荣誉学位或同等学历。可以考虑到专业经验。在相关科目中，具有较低的二等荣誉学位的申请人，将按个案考虑。

Relevant degree subjects are

all biology degrees with a substantial molecular biology or genetics component.

other biology degrees with at least some molecular biology.

computing science, software engineering or IT.

mathematics or statistics (with evidence of experience in computer programming).

other physical sciences subjects with either evidence of experience in computer programming or evidence of a strong background in molecular biology.

For all other degree backgrounds, please consult the programme director for advice before applying.

所有的生物学学位都有大量的分子生物学或遗传学成分。其他生物学学位，至少有一些分子生物学。计算科学、软件工程或IT。数学或统计学（有计算机编程经验的证据）。其他物理科学的研究对象，要么是计算机编程经验的证据，要么是分子生物学背景的证据。对于其他学历背景，请在申请前咨询项目主任的意见。

You do not need to have previous experience in computer programming, but you should be numerate as part of the programme is spent learning programming and many of the courses involve statistical analysis. We may admit you if your background is outside molecular biology and we are confident that you can develop your understanding of the biology background in a timely manner.

你不需要有以前的计算机编程经验，但是你应该把它作为课程的一部分来学习编程，而且很多课程都涉及到统计分析。如果你的背景是分子生物学之外的，我们可能会承认你，我们相信你能及时地发展你对生物背景的理解。

If you have a degree in a molecular bioscience and want to specialise or enhance your skills in biological computing, this programme is designed for you.

如果你有一个分子生物科学学位，并且想要专门或提高你在生物计算方面的技能，这个项目是为你设计的。

If your background is in a non-molecular life science or in another discipline such as computing science, please apply anyway, or enquire (see the contact listed above), as we do often take students with other backgrounds.

如果你的背景是在非分子生命科学领域，或者在计算机科学等其他学科中，请申请，或询问（见上面列出的联系人），因为我们经常带着其他背景的学生。

For applicants whose first language is not English, the University sets a minimum English Language proficiency level.

International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic module (not General Training)

overall score 6.5

no sub-test less than 6.0

or equivalent scores in another recognised qualification
