Additional information
This minor prepares the students for the major in "Information Technology for Health and Biology". Additionally, this minor provides valuable, complementary knowledge for students of biological/medical courses as well as for students of signal processing or software engineering that aim to apply their efforts to study biological/medical subjects.
Only intended as a minor
