I was afraid of programming before the semester started, but fortunately that’s taken into account in Bioinformatics, says a first-year student

Štěpán Kubíček studies Bioinformatics at Masaryk University, a joint degree programme of the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Informatics. “In my final year of secondary school, I wasn’t completely sure what I actually wanted to study,” he explains. He has always enjoyed natural sciences and was also drawn to working in research, so he chose a field that allows him to combine both. Thanks to the possibility of specialization starting as early as the second semester, he believes Bioinformatics is suitable both for enthusiasts of natural sciences and for those who are more interested in programming.
