Bachelor of Science in Microbiology

Program Overview

Microbiology is the study of organisms too small to be visible with the naked eye, including bacteria, fungi and viruses. Your course will cover an area of science fundamental to the understanding of life on this planet – from human and animal disease, better food production to microbial involvement in global cycles.

You’ll study a range of microbiological topics, such as bacterial resistance to antibiotics, use of microbes in biotechnology, and how new pathogens such as the cause of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) emerge and cause disease.

You will develop your specialist knowledge, whilst building on foundations of molecular and cellular biology, with areas such as immunology, genetics, biochemistry and cell biology.

This 3 year BSc can also be converted into an integrated Masters (MBiol) with an optional additional year of specialist training, to study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project.

Course highlights:

  • An opportunity to study disciplines complementary to microbiology such as biochemistry and genetics.
  • A wide range of research-led optional modules including applied biology and agriculture, introduction to pharmacology, chemotherapy, and introduction to bioinformatics.
  • Extensive training opportunities in microbiological and molecular techniques – essential for careers in scientific research.
