Microbiology is the study of organisms that are too small to be visible with the naked eye, including bacteria, fungi and viruses. This area of science is fundamental to the understanding of life on this planet – from human and animal disease, better food production and microbial involvement in global cycles.

You’ll study a range of microbiological topics, such as bacterial resistance to antibiotics, use of microbes in biotechnology, and how new pathogens such as the cause of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) emerge and cause disease.

You’ll develop your specialist knowledge, while building on foundations of molecular and cellular biology, with areas such as immunology, genetics, biochemistry and cell biology.
