You can study a standard master's degree if you have:
An standard degree from a Spanish university (of any level and duration.)
A foreign degree from an European Higher Education Area (EHEA) country, which enables the student to study a master's degree in the issuing country.
A foreign degree from a non-EHEA country, which is of an equivalent level to a standard degree in that country and which enables the student to study at postgraduate level there. The degree does not need to be formally recognised in Spain. Consult the information concerning document legalisation procedures at the Ministry of Education. Check out how to legalise the documents you need to submit.

The aim of the Master's in Omics Data Analysis is to produce well-trained professionals who can perform efficient and thorough analysis of large amounts of genetic and molecular data.
The Master's responds to the growing use of high-performance omics techniques in biomedical research and in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries and to the increasing demand for highly-qualified professionals in this field. The programme provides knowledge of the most important techniques in omics data acquisition and analysis. Students will be able to analyse omics data information using appropriate statistical and bioinformatics tools.
In collaboration with research centres and companies in the field the teaching methodology will ensure that a wide range of applications are covered.
Classes are taught in English.
It can be follow in person in Barcelona (teaching from October to March, from Monday to Friday from 3pm to 7pm) or 100% online through pre-recording videos that can be viewed when it suits the student.
Objectives
This course provides an overview of the epigenetic mechanisms and their link to gene regulation. The aim is to introduce the most important methods for epigenomics data analysis.
Learning outcomes
RA1. Know in depth the main epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation.
LO2. Use epigenetics databases correctly.
LO3. Rigorously performs and interprets epigenetic profile analyses.
LO4. Appropriately analyze next-generation sequencing (NGS) epigenetic data.
Skills
general
Be able to critically analyze scientific literature in English.
Be able to gather and interpret relevant data to make scientific judgments.
Have the training, skills and methods for carrying out a Master's Degree research project.
Specific
Be able to interpret the results of omics data analysis.
Identify contexts for use of omics technology in solving problems.
Recognize the limitations of omics tools and methods.
Understand the principles and operation of technology for obtaining omics data.
Understand the theoretical principles and proper use of statistical procedures for treatment of omics data.
Understand the theoretical principles and proper use of the most common computing tools for treatment of omics data.
Basic
Students can apply their knowledge and ability to solve unfamiliar problems within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study.
Students can communicate their conclusions -and the underlying knowledge and rationale- to specialists and non-specialists in a clear and unambiguous way.
Students can integrate knowledge and handle complexity to make judgments based on incomplete or limited information, including reflection on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments.
Students have knowledge and understanding that provide a basis for originality in developing and using ideas, often within a research context.
Students possess the learning skills to continue studying in a mainly self-directed manner.
Core
Display professional skills in complex multidisciplinary contexts, working in networked teams, whether face-to-face or online, through use of information and communication technology.
Project the values of entrepreneurship and innovation in one's academic and professional career, through contact with a variety of practical contexts and motivation for professional development.
Use oral, written and audiovisual forms of communication, in one's own language and in foreign languages, with a high standard of use, form and content.
Content
Epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation
DNA methylation
Histone modifications
Epigenetics databases
Analysis of epigenetic profiles
NGS epigenetic data analysis
Methodology
Theoretical sessions combined with hands-on sessions.
For the in person modality: in the event of a new emergency that means not being able to access the university facilities, teaching will be moved to virtuality, but as soon as the health authorities authorize more face-to-face activity, this modality will be recovered and will have to continue the directions of the Faculty.
