Medical Biosciences (Microbiology)

About this course

Medical biosciences with a microbiology specialism is a discipline concerned with the microorganisms that cause disease and the mechanisms through which they do so. Infectious diseases remain among the most significant causes of death and suffering globally, and the extraordinary diversity of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, and the remarkable mechanisms they have evolved to evade and exploit the human immune system, make microbiology one of the most intellectually fascinating areas of biomedical research. Understanding these mechanisms is fundamental to developing vaccines, antimicrobials, and immunotherapies. At the University of Leicester, this four-year MBiolSci programme extends a medically specialised BSc into a fourth year of masters-level study, deepening your research and laboratory skills alongside your specialist knowledge. The programme includes a sandwich placement
