It also includes how microbes react with each other and their environments.On this course, we鈥檒l look at how micro-organism work collectively to maximise their success. We'll look at how we can manipulate them and their behaviour with a view to improving health.Our course curriculum is shaped by the work of our world-leading researchers to make sure you鈥檙e learning the latest advances.

This will prepare you for designing and carrying out projects later in your course.You鈥檒l then focus more on key aspects of microbiology at Levels 3 and 4, such as biochemistry, molecular structure, and gene regulation. Throughout the duration of the course, you have the flexibility to pick modules that appeal to you, highlighting to future employers where your interests lie.The year in industry will occur between levels 3 and 4.
