Program Overview

Our Biomedical Sciences (Medical Microbiology) MSc is designed to give you the opportunity to study and analyse the theoretical and practical basis of medical microbiology and many of the specialist areas within it. You'll gain greater insight into the importance and role of medical microbiology, with an emphasis on cutting edge areas such as molecular diagnostics and genomics, emerging pathogens and antibiotic resistance.

You'll study a range of core and option modules that will allow you to tailor studies to your own requirements. You'll expand your knowledge of the basic science and analytical techniques relating to medical microbiology and gain an up-to-date understanding of the application of medical microbiology in bioscience/pharmaceutical research, as well as in diagnostic and therapeutic medicine. There will be an emphasis in the course on development of critical analysis skills in assessment of scientific literature and laboratory data. In addition you'll have the opportunity to design and execute your own research project. Our course team is supported by visiting lecturers who are practising scientists in the field, which helps to ensure that taught material is current and relevant.
