In spite of their size, the impact of microbes on the planet is so extensive that life as we know it could not exist without them. In addition, microbes cause many of the known diseases of humans, animals and plants. Knowledge of microbiology will enable you to improve the quality of our lives in relation to the environment, to fight disease, and to combat pollution. Microbiology plays a key role in genetic engineering and other modern biotechnologies, such as antibiotic production and the exploitation of new sources of food and energy.This programme includes an Integrated Masters the first three years of the programme are identical to the BSc Microbiology C500. The final year involves additional training in research, including a 60-credit project and the option of an external internship, or of completing the whole year as an external industrial placement
