Bachelor of Science with Honours (Microbiology and Biotechnology)

Microbes are everywhere, inside our bodies, in the air we breathe, even in the food we eat. They are so small that millions can fit into the eye of a needle yet without them we couldn't exist. On this fascinating course you'll explore the amazing ability of microbes to adapt to virtually every ecological niche and how we exploit this microbial diversity in the production of drugs, food and the decontamination of our environment.

This course provides you with a broad understanding of the biological sciences, and provides you with specialist skills in food, medical and environmental microbiology and biotechnology. Through specialist modules, including medical microbiology, immunology and pharmaceutical biotechnology, you'll learn how the human immune system responds to invading bacteria and viruses, and how this knowledge is used in the development of new drugs, vaccines and diagnostics.
There is a large practical element to this course including a final year research project conducted in established and internationally recognised research teams.
