Course programme
You will be given a general introduction to all aspects of modern biology and encouraged to acquire general scientific skills.
Year 2As part of an increasing focus on microorganisms, you will learn practical microbiological skills in the laboratory, complemented by the study of the host response to microbes: immunology, infection and immunity.
You will also study other subjects in years 1 and 2: see Degrees in Arts, Life Sciences, Science and Social Sciences.
Years 3, 4 and 5If you progress to Honours (years 3 and 4) you will learn about many aspects of microbiology with particular emphasis on prevention, treatment and pathogenicity of infectious diseases.
In year 3 you will study the spectrum of infectious diseases, immune responses and the biochemistry and molecular biology of bacteria, viruses and parasites. Year 3 is run as a joint course with the Parasitology and Virology degree programmes.
In year 4 you will choose from a range of specialised advanced courses. You will undertake a research project under the supervision of a researcher either within the University or in a neighbouring institution (such as a hospital), or local company.
Microbiology can be taken as an MSci, which includes an additional placement year between year 3 and the final year of the degree. This is normally spent doing research in industry or some other organisation, such as a research institute, in the UK or overseas, and often attracts a modest salary.
The list of available final-year optional courses is subject to change each year. In addition, places in optional courses may be limited, so students are not guaranteed a place on a particular final-year option.
Our international linksYou will have the opportunity to apply to study abroad. There are currently two options available: the Erasmus+ Programme and the International Exchange Programme. See Study abroad.
