Our Biotechnology and Microbiology program explores the utilization of microorganisms for developing enhanced pharmaceutical treatments and the significance of microbial evolution in pathogen management.
This interdisciplinary program is perfect for students seeking to customize their studies according to their evolving interests in these fields.
Often underestimated, microorganisms play critical roles as disease agents and as producers of valuable compounds like antibiotics. They're essential for ecosystem functions, agriculture, environmental cleanup, and serve as key models for biological research. At York, you'll discover how biological principles apply to vital sectors including healthcare, food production, and environmental protection.
The program also offers optional year-long placements, either industrial or international, to enhance your experience. The Biology Department features cutting-edge teaching labs with ample space for hands-on experiments and group projects, complemented by advanced computing resources.
