Microbiology and Infection

Our BSc Microbiology course involves the study of microorganisms with particular emphasis on the biology of bacteria, viruses and fungi. In spite of their size, the impact of microorganisms on the planet is so extensive that life as we know it could not exist without them. You’ll study a broad range of modules which cover areas such as molecular microbiology, infectious disease and global health, immunology, therapeutics and genomics with the opportunity to specialise and carry out your own research project. We also offer support for making career choices right from the beginning and you will have the opportunity to consider potential career pathways within and outside the field of Microbiology and Infection. You’ll learn and develop those important transferable skills in communication, team working, project management and computing with practical sessions and group work.
