Microbiologists play an important role in helping to prevent disease, develop new treatments, clean up the environment, and keep food safe. Using our £5 million Super Lab you'll find out how to use microbes in the development of vaccines and medicines. Accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, our degree has been independently assessed. As an accredited degree, you'll learn how to work with level 2 pathogens safely. These are biological agents that can cause disease such as Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria and Salmonella. You'll develop your laboratory skills and learn: - sterile technique - how to identify bacteria (including pathogenic bacteria) - how to grow and characterise bacteria in the laboratory - the mechanisms of anti-microbial resistance - how to detect and count viruses - gene analysis and cloning As active researchers, our teaching is shaped by the latest thinking. Academic mentors will support you on a one-to-one basis in your final year research project. Throughout your degree you can choose from a range of additional options. You can apply to do these when you get here: - industry placement - you can add a year in industry between years two and three - study abroad - options include Australia, Canada, or Europe - computer Science year - use algorithms to analyse complex data and apply this to your course

Core modules in your first year build your foundation science. You will learn how microbial products contribute to healthcare and food production. You'll be introduced to biochemistry, cell biology and genetics. Practical sessions will develop your laboratory skills and techniques. In the second year, core modules include medicinal microbiology, gene expression and sequencing. You'll study virology, the structure of viruses and their significance. In laboratory practicals, you'll learn core practical methods for the safe handling of level 2 pathogens.  In your second and third years you can choose a selection of optional modules depending on your interests.  Your final year research project enables you to use your skills to work on a piece of original research. You will design the study, use techniques, collect data and prepare a report.
