Why study Microbiology?
Study the diversity of microorganisms, the immune system, microbial virulence, disease states and the ways in which organisms respond to infection. Learn how vaccines protect animals and humans from infectious diseases and the latest advances in vaccine development from lecturers who are globally recognised experts. You'll focus on the key areas of immunology, virology, parasitology, environmental microbiology, microbial biotechnology and microbial genomics. Study bacterial, fungal and viral infections and apply your knowledge in weekly laboratory practicals. You will confidently use the specialist biomedical and molecular techniques required to diagnose and characterise infectious microbes and to develop new diagnostics. Microbiology is available as a minor and major.
