I don't think I've seen an announcement of the DL M.Sc. in Bioinformatics at Oxford. MSc in Bioinformatics Does have some residencies: This is a part-time course, which is aimed at those already in full time employment. Participants need only be in Oxford for four one-week blocks during the first year, for three one-week blocks in the second year and for two in the third year. The follow-up work for each module is intended to be carried out at the student’s normal place of residence. The final dissertation is based on a project to be carried out at the student’s place of employment.
