The taught Infection Biology MSc will help you to develop your knowledge and understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which bacteria, viruses and parasites cause disease in humans and in domesticated animals, and the immune responses generated as a result.
2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent) in Biological Sciences, Biomedical Science, Biology, Immunology, Biochemistry, Veterinary Biosciences, Genetics, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Virology, Parasitology or Zoology.
We may also accept degrees in Clinical Medicine or Marine Biology.
We may sometimes accept degrees at 2.2 Hons (or non-UK equivalent), if higher scores have been achieved in the subjects listed above, or in other relevant modules.
About half of our MSc students enter a research career, mainly by undertaking further postgraduate research studies towards a PhD, or by working in research laboratories in clinical or academic settings, including national government laboratories.
Other students go on to work in the pharmaceutical, diagnostic or biotechnological industries.
Many graduates from this programme also work in life sciences companies and in organisations providing support to the food and farming industries.
