Infectious diseases are responsible for one-fourth of global mortality. This sobering fact underscores the importance of studying the microscopic pathogens behind these illnesses. Through this program, you'll explore the origins, prevention, treatment, and eradication of infectious diseases across research and clinical settings. The three-year Bachelor of Science in Medical Microbiology provides comprehensive knowledge about the diversity, classification, structure, and biological processes of disease-causing microorganisms in humans, including major pathogenic infections. You'll examine how these pathogens invade human systems, discover the dual role microbes play in health and disease, and study infection prevention, treatment, and eradication strategies. The curriculum combines instruction from both research scientists and clinical practitioners, offering insights into infectious disease management in healthcare settings. This program mirrors the initial three years of the MBiolSci in Medical Biosciences (Microbiology) degree.
