By pursuing MSc in Medical Microbiology, students can build on their existing biomedical sciences knowledge and skills to become a specialist in medical microbiology. They'll have the opportunity to experience a range of techniques across microbiology, and the topics they'll study, from the role of microbiology in medicine to molecular microbiology and epidemiology, will give them specialist knowledge and a variety of skills applicable to a range of careers in the field of biomedical sciences and microbiology.
This Master's course will be delivered through independent laboratory research and expert lectures. Students will complete a range of activities and assignments, including group projects that'll mirror the work environment by requiring them to work effectively as part of a laboratory team and produce reports to detail their findings.
Students will be supported in their studies by staff with vast practical and academic experience, which will allow them to pursue their research interests in a wide range of areas. They'll have access to LBU's modern facilities including a purpose-built Biomedical Sciences Laboratory that contains a range of the latest scientific testing equipment, IT and AV facilities. Learners will have access to visiting professionals through seminar series, who'll share their industry and research experience. Not only will this help gain insights into the very latest practices, it is also an opportunity to cultivate professional networks.
The MSc Medical Microbiology course is currently subject to PSRB approval for the accreditation of the Royal Society of Biology and the Institute of Biomedical Science. On completion of this course, students will be able to apply for practical laboratory-based roles, such as a research, diagnostic or healthcare scientist, and they'll also be well placed should they want to apply for the NHS Scientist Training Programme.
Graduates could work for an organization such as Public Health England, contributing to scientific research aimed at improving the health of the nation. They'll also be thoroughly prepared for doctoral-level study.
