The MSc. «Informatics and Computational Biomedicine” has as its subjects Computer Science, Computer Science and Biomedicine. The aim of this MSc is the scientific training and specialization of students in the above mentioned subjects and the development of related research activities and applications. The objectives of this MSc are:
i. The promotion of scientific research and the specialisation of graduate scientists in the fields of:
a) Computational Medicine and Biology,
b) Computer and Telecommunication Systems Security, Big Data Management, and Simulation, and
c) Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Education.
ii. Attracting graduates of the two collaborating Departments, who either seek education through the second cycle of studies, or wish to continue for doctoral studies.
iii. Attracting graduates from other Departments or Institutions with a related field of study and with potential for further research activity.
iv. To strengthen the presence of the School of Sciences and increase its student population, in order to further enhance its position and competitiveness in the academic environment.
v. To provide high quality postgraduate education, both to the local community, nationally and internationally, so that graduates have the ability to contribute in the short and medium term to the economic and technological development of Greece.
