Our BSc Microbiology with International Study course involves the study of microorganisms with particular emphasis on the biology of bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoan parasites.\ Microbiologists are needed to do the research required for the future battle against infectious diseases worldwide, understanding the environmental importance of microbes and to exploit them for food production, biotechnological and industrial applications. The main focus of our course is the pathogenic potential of the organisms that cause disease in man. You will also cover aspects of the biochemistry, physiology and genetics of microorganisms. You will spend your first year learning fundamental concepts before specialising in microbiology topics in your second and final year. In Year 3, you will have the opportunity to study overseas to gain a broader perspective on the topics studied, enhancing your employability. Optional units allow you to further tailor your course around your interests and career ambitions.
