BSc Medical Microbiology
Do you want to know more about infectious diseases, which are responsible for a third of all deaths and are a major cause of death in infants and young children? This three-year BSc in Medical Microbiology will give you a thorough understanding of the range, type, structure and physiology of infectious organisms that cause disease in humans; including the major microbial diseases.
You will appreciate how such organisms infect the human body, understand how microbes can promote both health and disease, and how such infections are prevented, managed or cured. This course will allow you to learn from both research and clinical scientists so that you can learn about management of infectious disease in clinical environments.
This course is identical to the first three years of the MBiolSci in Medical Biosciences (Microbiology).
At the University of Leicester, we offer seven Biological Science subjects and four Medical Bioscience subjects, all as both BSc (three years) and MBiolSci (four years), plus a Foundation Year option, giving you an impressive range of 23 different courses to choose from.
It is possible to switch between a Biological Science course and a Medical Bioscience course during the first half of your first year, but after that the two fields diverge.
