Our MSci course is ideal if you want to continue in research or to stand out when applying for a PhD or employment.

In your first year, you will gain a broad understanding of biomedical sciences and take units in microbiology and diseases caused by microorganisms. In addition to learning about the immune system, you will also study pathology and biochemistry.

In year two you will study the cellular and molecular basis of human diseases caused by microorganisms, such as shigella and tuberculosis, and viruses including SARS-CoV-2. As well as learning about the immune response to a variety of infectious microbes, you will investigate how bacteria acquire antibiotic resistance. Our eBiolabs online resources are available to help you prepare for practical laboratory sessions in the first and second year.

You will take infection units and an optional unit in your third year. You will write a grant proposal or undertake a research project, working in our research projects laboratory in the Biomedical Sciences Building.

Our programmes are flexible and if your interests change, you can transfer to another of our programmes.

The additional fourth year includes an extended research project and research skills training with an emphasis on enterprise. You will plan projects, communicate with a variety of audiences and learn to translate and commercialise research.

We focus on 'Turning science into medicine' and these courses aim to launch you into a research career with an emphasis on translational research.
