Course Overview

Do you want to know more about infectious diseases, which are responsible for a third of all deaths and are a major cause of death in infants and young children? This three-year BSc in Medical Microbiology will give you a thorough understanding of the range, type, structure, and physiology of infectious organisms that cause disease in humans; including the major microbial diseases.

You will appreciate how such organisms infect the human body, understand how microbes can promote both health and disease, and how such infections are prevented, managed or cured. This course will allow you to learn from both research and clinical scientists so that you can learn about management of infectious disease in clinical environments.
