Launching in October 2018, the Post Graduate Certificate in Biocuration at the University of Cambridge is the first formal educational qualification in the field of Biocuration.
Developed collaboratively between the University of Cambridge’s Institute of Continuing Education (ICE) and EMBL-EBI, this programme has been designed to provide biocurators with a set of practical skills that are applicable across the biological sciences. Whether you are new to biocuration and looking to develop your skills, or an established curator looking to gain a recognised qualification, this course will provide a strong foundation in the principles of biocuration with additional focus on computational skills, data management and user-experience.
The course is divided into three modules, each including a 3 day workshop followed by a period of self-study through online activities. You do not need to be based in Cambridge to study for this course, but you must be able to attend all workshops.

Applications close 30th June 2018.
