What you'll study?

These four-year MBiol courses combine course material and content from undergraduate and postgraduate levels, giving you a Masters-level qualification.  If you have the drive and ambition to progress into a professional scientific career in industry or academia or onto a Ph.D., then this course is ideal for you. It provides tailored knowledge, technical skills, and research expertise to help you stand out in the job market.

The course begins by giving you an understanding of how microbiology and physical principles are integrated into and used to investigate broad living processes from cells to organisms. After this, an understanding and application of microbiology are developed, and the course aims to provide a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the microbial world. You'll study the key concepts associated with micro-organisms in both practical and theoretical contexts and then consider the role of microbes in health, disease, and the natural environment. The microbiology degree also provides specializations in molecular microbiology, forensic microbiology, and virology.
