Summary
We want our research to make positive change in the real world. The course has a strong research-led emphasis with material directly linked to the specialisms of the course facilitators, such as COVID-19, antimicrobial resistance, and the role of immunity in health and disease.
This course combines detailed instruction of microbes, the immune responses to them and the complex interplays that result in disease or clearance. As a result, our graduates are uniquely qualified to develop and assess highly nuanced novel methods of studying and treating infections.
You will receive advanced instruction into host cell control mechanisms, immune responses to infections and how diverse pathogens manipulate these to cause disease in humans. Introductory modules during this period facilitate students wishing to transition from other biology-related disciplines or aid those who have taken a break from learning.
Course alumni frequently progress onto PhDs or into roles within industry or national government laboratories.
By studying with us, you will: - gain direct experience of a variety of molecular biology, microbial and immunological techniques,
-
learn how to interpret data, critically evaluate published scientific research papers and draw independent conclusions,
-
have the opportunity to study an aspect of microbiology and/or immunology in greater depth through completion of a 60 credit research project.
