MSci Microbiology

... United Kingdom
... University of Strathclyde

Course Overview

Microbiology is the study of the smallest living organisms (micro-organisms or microbes), which include viruses, bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa. Microbes are a significant cause of human disease but are useful in industrial processes, from pollution control to treating illness.

This Masters's degree is for students who want to specialise in a single biomedical science. It’s particularly relevant if you wish to pursue a research career.

In Years 1 to 4, you’ll follow the same curriculum as one of the joint Honours biomedical sciences degrees. In Year 5, you’ll focus on developing research skills and knowledge. A significant part of this course is project-based.
