About this course

Microbiology is the science of organisms too small to see with the naked eye, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and the many other microscopic life forms that shape the world in ways both harmful and beneficial.

Microbiology sits at the heart of medicine, agriculture, environmental science, and biotechnology, and its importance has been thrown into sharp relief by the global attention given to infectious disease and the development of new vaccines and therapeutics. At the University of East Anglia, you will study this three-year full-time programme, developing a thorough understanding of microbial structure, physiol
