BSc and MSc Thesis Subjects of the Bioinformatics Group

MSc thesis: In the Bioinformatics group, we offer a wide range of MSc thesis projects, from applied bioinformatics to computational method development. Here is a list of available MSc thesis projects. Besides the fact that these topics can be pursued for a MSc thesis, they can also be pursued as part of a Research Practice.

BSc thesis: As a BSc student you will work as an apprentice alongside one of the PhD students or postdocs in the group. You will work on your own research project, closely guided by your supervisor. You will be expected to work with several tools and/or databases, be creative and potentially overcome technical challenges. Look at the list of MSc thesis projects above and list the projects that you are most interested in on the intake form. Based on your interests, a supervisor will be found and a suitable project will be defined.

Procedure for WUR students:

1. Request an intake meeting with one of our thesis coordinators by filling out the MSc intake form or BSc intake form and sending it to thesis@bioinformatics.nl
2. Contact project supervisors to discuss specific projects that fit your background and interest
3. Upon a match, take care of the required thesis administration together with your supervisor(s) and enroll in the thesis BrightSpace site to find more information on a thesis in the Bioinformatics group

Procedure for non-WUR students or students in other non-standard situations: We have limited space for interns from other institutes. If you are interested, please email our thesis coordinators at thesis@bioinformatics.nl; please attach your CV and indicate what are your main research interests.
