Medical Biosciences (Microbiology) MBiolSci
The MBiolSci in Medical Biosciences (Microbiology) will give you a thorough understanding of the range, type, structure and physiology of infectious organisms that cause disease in humans, including the major microbial diseases. By studying microbiology in the context of the molecular and cellular mechanisms used to cause and prevent disease, you’ll learn how infectious diseases are caused, prevented, managed and cured – in both research and clinical environments.
Along the way, you will gain subject-specific knowledge while developing your analytical skills and gaining experience in handling complex information. You will also gain a broad understanding of fundamental biological processes. By studying microbiology in the context of medicine, disease and health, you will be able to apply your knowledge across many sub-disciplines and gain a valuable and powerful asset in scientific environments and in many other walks of life.
This flexible and broad-based four-year degree allows you to shape your course to focus your study on the relevance and importance of microbiology in medical science. The first three years are the same as the BSc in Medical Microbiology, including the option of a year spent abroad or working in industry. In your final year you will specialise further, upgrading your degree to an MBiolSci (Master of Biological Sciences) and experiencing a seamless transition to specialised higher level study with a focus on medical microbiology research and transferable employability skills.
