Testimonials from our students
To help you to decide whether our programme will help you to meet your personal objectives, some of our graduates have provided feedback on their experience of distance learning. The projects page also has information on how our graduates have progressed.Pierre Stockreiser, Computer Scientist, Luxembourg
The Bioinformatics distance learning programme has been one of the best learning experiences I ever made. Throughout the entire MSc period me and my fellow students had a whole range of well conceived online resources at our disposal, the university staff have been extremely competent and helpful and the other students have been motivated people from all around the world and with various backgrounds turning every group session into a first class learning event. By choosing this programme you can do a complete MSc course based on high level and up-to-date topics at home without missing anything compared to local students and as the cherry on top you are invited to the impressive graduation ceremony in Manchester.William Dickinson - Senior Software Engineer, USA
The University of Manchester Distance Learning MSc Program in Bioinformatics (now called Computational Molecular Biology) is an excellent educational opportunity for individuals interested in this field - especially for those who lack access to similar programs in traditional brick and mortar universities due to geographical or program schedule constraints.The instruction is top-notch and the courses focus on current topics. Access to journal resources via the John Rylands University Library and the Athens system is superb and likely unmatched by any other. Working with class mates all over the globe is exciting and rewarding because one is exposed to a variety of cultural perspectives and problem solving approaches.
Attending the graduation ceremony is an experience not to be missed! Here you will see the University firsthand - not from a distance - as your home, and you will witness the depth and breadth of the University's vision for the future. Spend several days (more if possible) in Manchester to experience its rich culture and history. I am grateful that the Distance Learning Program at the University of Manchester has enabled me to enhance and advance my understanding Bioinformatics: the knowledge I gained has helped me immensely in my work. I encourage others interested in this field to seriously consider this program.
