You will cover microbial taxonomy, bioinformatics, and molecular biology, using bacteria and viruses to develop new technologies and substances through data analysis and genome sequencing. With opportunities to develop your theoretical knowledge, advance your own research and increase your profile through articles and publications. A master's in Microbiology will equip you for further Ph.D. study or for a career in microbiology. The MSc Microbiology course will support and inspire you to high achievement in employment or further education and research in your chosen specialism. Building on your theoretical knowledge with practical and laboratory skills, you will show that you can tackle complex problems with confidence, skill, and maturity as you develop key strengths in critical thinking and expressing opinions based on evidence.
