Applications of computer science in biology.

So I'm in my final year of my undergraduate degree in computer science and mathematics and I'm not sure what to do. I've always been interested in biology and I was wondering what jobs I could go into in biology or medicine using computer science. Will i need an Msc etc??
Thanks!! :')

Bioinformatics certainly springs to mind. That's an area getting bigger and bigger in the world in big data and genomics.

There's an NHS graduate pathway: http://www.nhscareers.nhs.uk/explore-by-career/healthcare-science/careers-in-healthcare-science/careers-in-bioinformatics/bioinformatics-(genomics). Higher level research jobs might require Masters or PhD.

A quick google search reveals quite a lot of jobs that just require a Bachelors degree.

Yeah I've been looking at bioinformatics but I thought I might need an Msc :L

Yeah I've seen that and I definitely want to apply for it, but it's not open until Jan (I think). And my chances are probably slim :/
