University of Glasgow

• The University of Glasgow gives students a Master's of Research in Bioinformatics upon completion of a 12-month program. The first part of the program is taught, with classroom courses about DNA, protein and systems biology. The final 15 weeks are spent working on a real-world research project with major universities and corporations. About half of the students who complete this course go on to receive a Ph.D., according to the school's website.
