Course summary
Microbiology is the branch of science that focusses on the study of microorganisms, exploring all forms of microscopic life from bacteria to fungi, protozoa, and even non-living viruses. Alongside this, immunology is the study of the immune system, and how the human body protects itself against these organisms by a number of different pathways and processes. This programme will focus on the structure, function, and behaviour of these microorganisms, how they interact with their environment, their ability to cause human disease, and their potential for industrial applications.
This interdisciplinary programme will both bring these two areas together, focusing on how they interplay with one another in response to infectious diseases as well as considering disorders that occur as the result of a malfunctioning immune system. Industrial and research applications, such as the development of novel antimicrobials, and innovative immuno-therapeutics will root the programme in real world applications.
