分子生物科学（微生物学） Molecular Biosciences (Microbiology) MSc

This MSc develops expertise in the application of contemporary microbiology to health, food biosecurity and environmental sustainability, with the addition of a professional placement year. The programme provides a broad understanding of the molecular basis of biological systems, with a focus on microbes and their role in disease, developing new medicines and improving food biosecurity. Students complete two research projects in dedicated postgraduate labs and undertake a professional placement during the summer between Year 1 and Year 2 in academic, clinical, industrial or commercial settings. Core topics include molecular pathogenicity, antimicrobial resistance, bacterial epidemiology, and virulence mechanisms.
