This course delivers a critical awareness of current problems and/or new insights, much of which is at, or informed by, the forefront of medical microbiology and professional practice.
Youll be taught by world-leading experts, internationally recognised for their cutting-edge research in microbiology. Many of the lectures are given by guest speakers who are acknowledged experts in their field from within the NHS and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). This ensures the course remains up to date and relevant to your future career and also enables you to develop a strong network of contacts.

The course covers a wide range of fascinating topics such as molecular biology, advanced clinical microbiology, pathogenesis and communicable disease, while honing in on laboratory management skills as well as current policy, theory and practice.
We place particular emphasis on real-world application, and you will be based at the Whitechapel campus of the medical and dental faculty. 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. Here, you will gain a practical understanding of techniques applicable to your own research or advanced scholarship. You will also acquire the ability to evaluate methodologies and develop critiques of them and, where appropriate, to propose new hypotheses.
