Master of Science in Microbiology and Immunology with Integrated Masters with international or placement year

Program Overview

Position yourself at the forefront of scientific innovation with our four-year Microbiology and Immunology with Integrated Master's. From the intricate world of microscopic life and human immune responses to the complex interplays that result in disease or remission, you will gain the cutting-edge laboratory techniques, advanced problem-solving, research and communication and skills to pursue a research career, work in industry or the wider bioscience sector. 

Our integrated master's programme combines a robust foundation in microbiology and immunology, with an expansive exploration of contemporary biological sciences. Throughout the programme you'll delve into cutting-edge research areas, gaining profound insights into molecular biology, intricate biological mechanisms, and complex host-pathogen interactions.

The curriculum comprehensively covers the biology, biochemistry, and physiology of microorganisms—including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites—while examining the immune system's critical role in defending against pathogenic infections.

Our approach emphasises understanding intricate interactions between microorganisms and their hosts, investigating disease mechanisms, and developing innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Microbiology focuses on host-pathogen dynamics, exploring their broader implications in biotechnology and global ecosystems. Immunology unveils the remarkable complexity of the human immune system, demonstrating how this knowledge drives breakthrough treatments, vaccine development, and targeted molecular therapies for conditions like cancer and autoimmune disorders.

Through intensive research training, you'll develop advanced experimental design, practical techniques, and data analysis skills. In our state-of-the-art laboratories, you will gain hands-on experience with modern research methodologies, culminating in a comprehensive third year research project, guided by academic expertise.

Year four is strategically designed to enhance your employability and subject-specific knowledge. You'll gain sophisticated problem-solving and communication skills, critically evaluate scientific literature, and conduct authentic research. You will also have the opportunity to demonstrate a range of professional skills such as leadership, innovation, communication and the ability to work safely and ethically.
