Curriculum
Year 1 provides a foundation in the biology of micro-organisms together with the plants and animals with which micro-organisms interact. Studies combine to explain the genetic, molecular and chemical basis of life, specific to micro-organisms but also to plants and animals. Key numeric, written, laboratory, IT and study skills are an important feature, to facilitate effective study throughout the coming years.
Year 2 expands on the fundamentals of year one to more deeply explore the genetic control, molecular activities and cellular organisation in micro-organisms, plants and animals. The microbiology of foods and pharmaceutical products are key areas of interest. Dedicated practical modules provide the opportunity to explore theory and practice whilst preparing for your specialist Honours research project.
An Optional sandwich year is available in a relevant industrial or research environment.
The final year explores advanced topics and microbiological issues. You will discover how microbiologists contribute to the prevention, treatment and control of infectious diseases, are able to produce valuable products in biotechnological processes and consider the ethical and social implications of biological exploitation. You will also undertake an extensive Honours research project of your choice within your preferred microbiological specialism.
