Course summary

Infectious diseases account for a quarter of all deaths. It’s a hard statistic to take in, but it’s why we keep studying the microscopic organisms that cause them. In this degree, you’ll learn how infectious diseases are caused, prevented, managed and cured – in both research and clinical environments. This three-year BSc in Medical Microbiology will give you a thorough understanding of the range, type, structure and physiology of infectious organisms that cause disease in humans including the major microbial diseases. You will appreciate how such organisms infect the human body, understand how microbes can promote both health and disease, and how such infections are prevented, managed or cured. This course will allow you to learn from both research and clinical scientists so that you can learn about management of infectious disease in clinical environments. This course is identical to the first three years of the MBiolSci in Medical Biosciences (Microbiology).
