CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR MEDICINE FACULTY OF LIFE SCIENCES


65


BSc Medical Microbiology/BSc Medical Microbiology with Study in Industry A-levels AAB (BBB†


or ABC† ) IB 34 (31† )


Your first year will include introductory units in microbiology and the diseases caused by microorganisms. In addition to learning about the immune system and infection, you will study pathology and biochemistry.


In your second year you will study the cellular and molecular basis of human diseases caused by microorganisms, such as shigella and tuberculosis, and viruses. As well as learning about the immune response to a variety of infectious microbes, you will investigate how bacteria acquire antibiotic resistance. Our eBiolabs dynamic laboratory manual is available to help you prepare for practical laboratory sessions in the first and second year.


Study in Industry students spend the third year on a placement. In your final year you will take the three infection units on offer and a fourth unit from the optional list. You will also undertake a research project or scientific dissertation working within the school or in one of the surrounding hospitals.


BSc Virology and Immunology/BSc Virology and Immunology with Study in Industry A-levels AAB (BBB†


or ABC† ) IB 34 (31† )


You will gain a broad background in biomedical science in years one and two, learning about viruses and the diseases they cause. You will also study the immune system and how it controls infection. You will learn about the autoimmune diseases that occur if the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues.


Study in Industry students will spend their third year on a placement. In your final year you will review the main viral diseases of humankind in terms of their natural history, biology, molecular biology, immunology, pathogenesis and epidemiology. These include HIV, hepatitis B and C, papilloma, influenza and measles, among others. You will learn about cutting-edge issues in virology and immunology, including emerging viruses, such as the Marburg and Ebola viruses or the SARS and MERS viruses, and about the problems associated with the production of vaccines. You will work on a research project, normally in either a virology or immunology research laboratory.
