This four-year MBiolSci program in Medical Biosciences (Microbiology) provides comprehensive knowledge about disease-causing microorganisms in humans, covering their diversity, structure, and biological functions. You'll explore how pathogens infect the body, the dual role of microbes in health and illness, and methods for preventing and treating infections. The program combines research and clinical perspectives, offering insights into infectious disease management in healthcare settings. The initial three years mirror the Medical Microbiology BSc curriculum, with opportunities for an industrial placement or international study between Years 2 and 3. The final year enhances your research capabilities through a specialized project, while developing professional skills. Graduates gain valuable analytical abilities sought after by PhD programs, research institutions, and various employers beyond science.
