Anchoring Courses Three anchoring courses are the centre-piece of the programme. It is expected that one anchoring course is taken at each of Year 1, 2 and 3/4 of the programme. These courses adopt a case-based problem-solving approach to support interdisciplinary integration of subject-specific content at each year level (horizontal integration). These courses provide a consistent backbone for the curriculum across different year levels (vertical integration). Students are required to complete the following anchoring courses: Introduction to Biomedical Data Science Artificial Intelligence in Medicine Big Data in Biomedical Informatics Foundation Courses These courses, mostly to be taken in Years 1 and 2 of the programme, focus on concepts and practical skills in fundamental topics in bioinformatics, such as biochemistry, mathematics, statistics and computer programming. Students are required to complete the following foundation courses: Core Courses for Bioinformatics Major The core courses are divided into anchoring, foundation, project and disciplinary elective courses. Perspectives in Biochemistry Computer Programming University Mathematics II Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra Probability and Statistics I Probability and Statistics II Project: Capstone Experience Each student is required to carry out an in-depth year-long research project in a specialised field of bioinformatics under the guidance of a supervisor who will provide continuous assessment on the student’s performance. 4
