Overview

Interdisciplinary - Biomathematics from Stellenbosch University is a broad interdisciplinary field where mathematical, statistical, and computing techniques are used to explain phenomena and research problems within the biological, biomedical, and environmental sciences - from predicting the influence of HIV/Aids, malaria, and tuberculosis to the effects of climate change in South Africa.

Key facts

The aim of the multidisciplinary Applied Medicinal Chemistry focal area is to provide opportunities for students to study drug synthesis in chemistry, and also to educate them in the physiological and pathophysiological basis of diseases. This will equip them with the necessary knowledge for synthesizing novel targeted drugs and to test these in cell and animal models. An interdisciplinary degree will open the door to a world of possibilities, provide you with a solid education in the pure and applied sciences, and equip you with transferrable skills.
