Embark on a fascinating journey into microbial life and human immunology on our Microbiology and Immunology BSc. From gaining core grounding in biology, biochemistry and physiology of viruses and microorganisms to acquiring advanced laboratory techniques in our state-of-the-art laboratories, you will gain the analytical thinking, research, and problem-solving skills to pursue a variety of careers in medical research, healthcare, biotechnology, and public health.
Our employability-focused BSc will immerse you in the fundamental concepts of microbiology and immunology, offering a comprehensive exploration of contemporary biological sciences. Through an in-depth and dynamic programme, you'll delve into cutting-edge research areas, gaining profound insights into molecular biology, intricate biological mechanisms, and the complex relationships between hosts and pathogens.
During the programme you will gain a solid grounding in biology, biochemistry and physiology of viruses and microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, and parasites, together with the role of the immune system in defending the body against infection from pathogens. Our overarching aim is to equip you with the multidisciplinary skills and knowledge employed by scientists in these fields.
In microbiology there is a particular emphasis on host-pathogen interactions, the diseases these can cause, the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, as well as their wider application in biotechnology and their critical roles in global ecosystems, including interactions within key plant and animal hosts.
Immunology explores the enormous diversity of the human immune system, and how such knowledge is essential in the development of new biotechnological approaches to disease treatment and prevention, such as vaccines.
The core laboratory programme delivered in our state-of-the-art David Attenborough and Central Science Laboratories will enable you to develop hands-on practical skills within modern research techniques. You will also receive research training in experimental design, practical techniques, and data analysis.
Your studies will culminate in the opportunity to undertake a final year research project (laboratory or computer based) under expert guidance of our teaching and research staff. You will also present the outcomes of your final year research project at our Undergraduate Student Research Conference in the context of a realistic research conference experience.
To enhance you employability there are options to undertake a work placement year, or study abroad for a semester or an international year of study. Shorter optional placement modules provide added flexibility for experiential learning alongside your studies in a range of industries and employer settings, including an education-focused optional module for those interested in a career in teaching.
