About this course

Human biology and infectious diseases is a discipline that sits at the intersection of the life sciences and public health, examining how the human body is organised and functions alongside the biology of the pathogens that challenge it. Infectious diseases have shaped human history, and understanding them, from the molecular mechanisms of infection and immunity to the epidemiology of disease spread in populations, is central to medicine, public health, and the development of treatments and vaccines. The recent experience of pandemic disease has made the relevance of this field of study unmistakably clear. At the University of Salford, this four-year full-time BSc in Human Biology and Infectious Diseases with a foundation year provides a supported entry route for students who have an interest in the field but do not currently have the scientific background needed for the main degree.
