Programming for Biologists

Course

Start date: Monday 17 November 2025

Time: 09.00

End date: Thursday 15 January 2026

Time: 16.00

This course introduces research students to programming as a natural part of problem-solving. Students will learn to navigate a Unix-based terminal, write scripts in Bash and Python, and leverage computational tools to handle large data sets. The course emphasises human-machine interplay, showing how coding knowledge enhances the effective use of AI tools.

Any student that wants to improve their efficiency in doing research is welcome to join. It will be tailored to all levels and the students can choose their engagement by completing more/less advanced tasks. Seats are limited to 15 participants.

The course is running from Nov 17 till Jan 15 and is structured around lectures with connecting practical sessions in pairs (labs), followed by a final project.
