Overview

Analyse cutting-edge medical microbiology research, assess methodologies, and propose new ideas. Gain hands-on experience in a clinical microbiology laboratory, engage in collaborative discussions, and relate studies to real-world practices.

Through the tools taught on this Biomedical Science (Medical Microbiology) offered at Queen Mary University of London , you will be able to evaluate current research and advanced scholarship in medical microbiology, evaluate methodologies and develop critiques of them and, where appropriate, propose new hypotheses.

Recent graduates continuing their studies will expand on the knowledge developed at undergraduate level, to prepare you for a career in the field of biomedical science and medical microbiology.

Those who are already employed in diagnostic microbiology will develop the knowledge needed to progress in the field and enter a new, more advanced role in the field. If you are currently employed in a microbiology diagnostic laboratory in the UK they offer you the opportunity to follow the course as a part-time student with your project being undertaken in your workplace enabling you to contribute directly to relevant service development and improvement.
