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.
