Bachelor of Science in Infectious Diseases

Program Overview

Infectious disease is a major challenge to society in the developed and developing worlds.

Our infectious diseases programme investigates the microorganisms that cause disease in humans and animals and how a host responds to infection. It brings together the study of:

bacteriology
virology
immunology
molecular biology

You will study:

the interaction between microorganisms and hosts
infection processes
how microbes cause disease

We can apply this knowledge to the development of prevention and therapeutic strategies, such as:

antibiotics
antiviral agents
vaccines

In Years 1 and 2 of your BSc (Hons) degree, you will undertake a broad programme of study in biomedical sciences. This structure is shared by all our undergraduate Biomedical Sciences degree programmes.

You will be introduced to Infectious Diseases in your Year 1 and 2 compulsory courses.

Specialisation in Infectious Diseases will begin in Year 3. In your final year, you will focus on this discipline.
