South African National Bioinformatics Institute (SANBI) Honours Bioinformatics Course at the University of the Western Cape. Next year the same institute will be offering a Master's in bioinformatics---thanks to Cathal Seoighe.

If you know of any other bioinformatics courses on the African continent please feel free to mail me about them.

The Americas

Brazil

According to Pablo Nehab-Hess the Laboratório Nacional de Computação Científica (LNCC), Brazil and the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) recently created a joint Bioinformatics MSc programme, through the Genetics Department of UFRJ and the Department of Applied Computational Mathematics of LNCC.

Canada

Thanks to Jordan Patterson for the information that the University of Alberta offers four-year Biology or Computer Science degrees with a specialization in bioinformatics. The Faculty of Computer Science there offers Master's and PhD training in bioinformatics.

Benjamin Horsman wrote to tell me that Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia are collaborating on a new Bioinformatics training program with the British Columbia Cancer Agency. The program offers post-graduate diploma, Master's, and PhD training in Bioinformatics. Now Simon Fraser University also offers a joint major programme in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (MBB) and Computer Science in Bioinformatics. Thanks to Brittany Nielsen for the info.

Thanks to Olga Likhodi for the information that Seneca College, Toronto offers a post-graduate diploma in Bioinformatics.

Peter Kublik informs me that from 2003/2004 the University of Calgary will offer a bioinformatics programme. He's part of the first intake.

The University of Waterloo, Department of Computer Science offers undergraduate and graduate courses in bioinformatics. More information is here.

California

The Keck Graduate Institute claims that computational biology is a core element of the curriculum in its Master of Bioscience degree.
