Course summary

Microbiology is the study of organisms too small to be visible with the naked eye, including bacteria, fungi and viruses. Your course will cover an area of science fundamental to the understanding of life on this planet – from human and animal disease, better food production to microbial involvement in global cycles.You will study a range of microbiological topics with a biomedical focus, such as bacterial resistance to antibiotics, the use of microbes in biotechnology, and how new pathogens, such as the cause of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), emerge and cause disease. These topics are at the heart of many global challenges and it is critical that the next generation of expert scientists are trained in these areas.You will develop your specialist knowledge, whilst building on the foundations of microbiology, with areas such as immunology, genetics, biochemistry and cell biology.This 3 year BSc can also be converted into an integrated Masters (MBiol) with an optional additional year of specialist training, subject to suitable academic performance and availability. You would study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project.


Course highlights:

- Weekly practical classes, with the option to experience working in a research lab in your final year.- Experience the cutting edge in a research-active environment with world-class facilities.- Perform a final year project at the frontier of modern research.- Gain further practical experience and boost your employability through our Year in Industry programme.- Build transferrable skills and employability with our skills-based teaching.- Extensive wellbeing and employability support from dedicated Faculty teams.- Outstanding graduate employability amongst top employers, both within and beyond scientific research.
