Renewal of registration
In calculating marks, General Regulation G.12.2 applies.
Apart from the prescribed coursework, a research project is an integral part of the study.
Studente moet in besit van 'n baccalaureusgraad in bioinformatika, biologiese wetenskappe, rekenaarwetenskap, Informatika, wiskunde, wiskundige statistiek of rekenaaringenieurswese wees. Studente met 'n graad in óf fisika, wiskunde, wiskundige statistiek of elektroniese ingenieurswese sal vereis word om 'n spesiale nagraadse oorbruggingsjaar te doen voordat toelating tot die honneursgraad in Bioinformatika toegestaan kan word. Toegang is addisioneel afhanklik van die beskikbaarheid van studieleier/s en/of projekte in die departement.
Students with degrees in biological sciences should choose BME 780 as an elective. Students from computer science and other related backgrounds should choose BIF 704. Other additional modules may be prescribed for non-degree purposes to address shortcomings in a candidate’s undergraduate training.
The BScHons degree is awarded with distinction to a candidate who obtains a weighted average of at least 75% in all the prescribed modules and a minimum of 65% in any one module.

Study and discussion of topical research results from recent scientific publications.
Module-inhoud:
*Hierdie inligting is slegs in Engels beskikbaar.
Principles and applications of recombinant DNA, and other novel molecular and genomics technologies, to address questions in the biological sciences and/or biotechnology. Strong emphasis is placed on the principles of research planning, including identifying suitable research objectives, formulating a research strategy and understanding the relevance and feasibility of research. The module is assessed by means of a research project proposal, conceived and formulated by each student. The proposal must focus on the use of molecular technologies in addressing realistic questions in biology and/or biotechnology. There is also an oral defense of the project proposal.
This module is jointly presented in the departments of Biochemistry, Genetics and Microbiology and Plant Pathology.
Module-inhoud:

The principles of experimental design as required for the selection of an appropriate research design. Identification of the design limitations and the impact thereof on the research hypotheses and the statistical methods. Identification and application of the appropriate statistical methods needed. Interpreting of statistical results and translating these results to the biological context.
