Course summary

Analyse cutting-edge medical microbiology research, assess methodologies, and propose new ideas. Gain hands-on experience in a clinical microbiology laboratory, engage in collaborative discussions, and relate studies to real-world practices. Whether you are progressing from undergraduate study, or working around your existing role, this MSc will prepare you for your first role or allow you to progress into a new role in the field.Accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS)Hands-on training in our purpose-built teaching laboratoryIdeal if you aspire to a career in biomedical science, including middle or senior management within the NHS Pathology Service and commercial sector or biomedical science researchFull-time students have the opportunity to attend research meetings within the Centre of Immunobiology What you'll studyThrough the tools taught on this programme, you will be able to evaluate current research and advanced scholarship in medical microbiology, evaluate methodologies and develop critiques of them and, where appropriate, propose new hypotheses. Full-time students continuing their studies will expand on the knowledge developed at undergraduate level, to prepare you for a career in the field of biomedical science and medical microbiology. Part-time students who are studying around their current work commitments will develop the knowledge needed to progress in the field and enter a new, more advanced role in the field. Practical classes are taught in the purpose-built teaching laboratory, which is based on a routine clinical microbiology laboratory and has received an award for sustainability. They are designed to give you invaluable hands-on experience, particularly in basic clinical microbiology. You will also be encouraged to relate current workplace practices to your studies, discuss and critically evaluate these techniques with class members, and undertake an active role in independent study outside of the classroom. Additional theoretical tutorials are also used throughout the year to broaden your experience of biomedical science. These tutorials include case presentations to and by students, workshops, discussion sessions, question-and-answer sessions, and oral presentations. This course can also enhance the career prospects of those aspiring to middle and senior management positions within the NHS Pathology Service and commercial sector.
