项目信息：
BioHealth Computing EM is a one year MSc programme, open to well motivated students who have completed one year MSc course (60 ECTS), or equivalent degree in the fields of: Clinical Research, Environmental and Animal Health, Molecular Biotechnology, and Computational Mathematics. BioHealth Computing EM is organized in 2 semesters followed at two different Partner Universities, that will be both in charge of awarding credits (30:30 ECTS), and Ms degrees to the student. Each year, the courses start by an Integration Period and finish by e Summer School gathering all the students in the BioPark of Archamps-Genève Technopole. During the first semester, students take Advanced Courses in scientific fields depending on their previous degree. The second semester is dedicated to a nine months Joint Research Project, associating two students coming from two different scientific fields to solve a unique problem.

- Application for European Master scholarship: From November, 25, 2011 to 10th of January 2012
- European Doctoral School Biohealth Computing: From November, 25, 2011 to 10th of January 2012
Requirements
The BioHealth Computing EM is a one year MSc programme, open to well motivated students, who are top-level Bachelor completed by a first year of Master of science, in a field in relation with the scope of the master programme (for instance: Clinical research, Public health, Molecular biotechnology, Applied mathematics or related fields with a number of prerequisites in Biology and/or in Computing). The admission policy is intended to ensure equal opportunity of access to higher education for qualified European and third country students.
1. Students are required having already completed a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc. degree or a nationally recognized degree equivalent to 180 ECTS) and the first year of a Master of Science (MSc degree or a nationally recognized degree equivalent to 60 ECTS), with a minimum grade of“B–“ in the ECTS grading scale (at least a score of 70%). If requested, the applicant must prove the international recognition of the mentioned Degree as equivalent to a B.Sc. + first year of Ms, and provide such official recognition translated in English. An academic equivalency may be attributed based on the professional experience of the applicant (validation of acquired experience).
2. Students are required having a fluent level in English, certified by a TOEFL score. The result has to be paper based at least 580, computer based at least 237 or internet based at least 92-93. An alternative is a minimum score of 6.5 from IELTS test. Furthermore, basic computer skills are required. The Consortium Committee can admit excellent students with a somewhat lower TOEFL (550, 213 or 79-80 respectively) or IELTS score (6.0).
Student's prerequisite
The two most important prerequisites for students who want to enter the program are:
During their bachelor education (or eventually after following a preparatory program), the students should have acquired both a basic knowledge on one field of the Master programme (for instance: mathematics, physics, electronics and electromagnetism), and also notions on complementary fields (for instance: cell biology, biochemistry, organic and inorganic chemistry, molecular architectures and recognition or chemical material science).
The students should have acquired sufficient analyzing, synthesizing and interpreting capabilities in their previous education. They should be able to understand a large variety of problems, and to translate them into an abstract academic level; to crosslink the knowledge from a variety of scientific disciplines, to form a personal and independent opinion and to transmit it to others. The students should show a strong interest in technological problems, are interested in how and why systems are functioning, have a clear sense for the societal and psychological relevance of technology.
