Course summary
Overview
Microbiology is the study of tiny organisms that can be harmful or helpful to us. With the recent pandemic and rise of new diseases, studying microbiology is more relevant than ever.
Why choose Biomedical Science (Medical Microbiology) MSc at Middlesex?
Our courses have a strong international reputation and the University's strong links with London hospital laboratories and Public Health England mean you study the latest developments, practices and research. Our Centre for Investigative and Diagnostic Oncology has pioneered techniques for cancer diagnosis and treatment including developing a vaccine for bladder cancer. The Haematology department is active in research into blood cancers, HIV and AIDS.
If you're currently working in microbiology, this master's degree will help you progress to a more senior position. You might also wish to explore your options in a research or academic career, or even complete further study at doctoral level.
Our flexible timetable means you'll only spend two days a week at the University if you're studying full-time, or one day if you're part-time which means you may well be able to study around existing work or life commitments.
