Course Overview

One of the few courses of its kind outside of medicine to combine aspects of human physiology, immunology and infectious diseases, our BSc (Hons) Human Biology and Infectious Diseases explores the pathology, transmission and epidemiology of infectious diseases affecting humans and animals.

Developed around a core biology curriculum, you will build a systematic understanding of human biology. You will explore specialist modules such as Pathophysiology and Veterinary and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases - all delivered within the supportive learning environment of our world-class Bodmer laboratories.

With a focus on your future, we place a strong practical focus on nurturing your scientific and transferable skills. Our curriculum is carefully designed to incorporate individual and group projects and activities where you can build an excellent skill set that can prepare you for a career in medical laboratory research. Accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, the course delivers a solid academic foundation in biological knowledge alongside key laboratory skills that meet the needs of employers.  

You will:

  • Gain a detailed and systematic understanding of human biology and infectious diseases

  • Have the opportunity to gain an understanding of many non-infectious diseases such as cancer and heart disease

  • Have the option to undertake a relevant industry placement in a clinical or research-based setting
