MBiolSci Medical Biosciences (Microbiology)
Entry requirements
A level: ABB, including at least two relevant science subjects from Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Physics or Psychology
About this course
MBiolSci in Biological Sciences and Microbiology, covering medical biosciences and infectious disease. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Laboratory Techniques, and Research Methods. The first three years mirror the Medical Microbiology BSc, with an option for a Year in Industry or Year Abroad between Years 2 and 3. The fourth year centres on an independent research project, and the programme holds Royal Society of Biology accreditation.
