Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time
We want our research to make positive change in the real world. The course has a strong research-led emphasis with material directly linked to the specialisms of the course facilitators, such as Covid-19, antimicrobial resistance, and the role of immunity in health and disease.
This course combines detailed instruction of microbes, the immune responses to them and the complex interplays that result in disease or clearance. As a result, our graduates are uniquely qualified to develop and assess highly nuanced novel methods of studying and treating infections.
You will receive advanced instruction into host cell control mechanisms, immune responses to infections and how diverse pathogens manipulate these to cause disease in humans. Introductory modules during this period facilitate students wishing to transition from other biology-related disciplines or aid those who have taken a break from learning.
