Course summary

We’ve designed our MSc Medical Microbiology to enable you to develop an advanced theoretical understanding, together with the practical techniques you’ll need to apply those theories in a research or clinical context.  On this masters degree, you’ll gain a well-rounded understanding of analytical approaches and human disorders. To further your knowledge, you’ll take an in-depth exploration of human infectious diseases, developing the skills to understand, control and manage those diseases.  You’ll also complete an independent research project, building professional-level research skills. This is your opportunity to explore the issues that fascinate you most by making the most of our extensive links with hospitals across Greater Manchester to conduct research in a real-world context.  By the time you graduate, you should be equipped with the analytical techniques and diagnostic approaches required for practice at a specialist level.   Our course is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) which means our teaching is industry relevant and provides wide-ranging, research-informed education to ensure you develop the practical skills and experience that employers value. Please note, that although this MSc is accredited by the IBMS it does not fulfil the requirements to gaining registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and does not provide the opportunity to complete the IBMS Registration Training Portfolio.
