MSci Microbiology

MSci Microbiology is a 4 years Masters program taught at University of Strathclyde (Glasgow), . The program is offered in campus-based modes with full Time options. To successfully obtain MSci Microbiology from University of Strathclyde (Glasgow) you are required to complete credit hours. After completion of MSci Microbiology you will be able to further continue for advance studies or start career as Researcher, Medical Researcher, Microbiologist.

Microbiology is the study of the smallest living organisms (micro-organisms or microbes), which include viruses, bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa. Microbes are a major cause of disease in humans but are useful in industrial processes from pollution control to the treatment of disease.

This Masters degree is for students who want to specialise in a single biomedical science. It’s particularly relevant if you want to pursue a research career.

In Years 1 to 4, you’ll follow the same curriculum as one of the joint Honours biomedical sciences degrees. In Year 5, you’ll focus on developing research skills and knowledge. A significant part of this course is project-based.

The minimum requirements for admission in MSci Microbiology at University of Strathclyde (Glasgow) for all applicants (Domestic or International) are:

• program specific academic requirment set by University of Strathclyde (Glasgow).
• English Language OR any other language requirments as set by University of Strathclyde (Glasgow) as pre-requiste for admission in MSci Microbiology.

This single Honours course specialises in Microbiology. Microbes and their activities are vitally important to virtually all processes on earth.

Microbes matter because they affect every aspect of our lives – they are in us, on us and around us.

Microbiology is the study of all living organisms that are too small to be visible with the naked eye. This includes bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, prions, protozoa and algae. These microbes play key roles in nutrient cycling, biodegradation/biodeterioration, climate change, food spoilage, the cause and control of disease, and biotechnology. Microbes can be put to work in many ways: making life-saving drugs, the manufacture of biofuels, cleaning up pollution, and producing/processing food and drink.

You can join one of the following careers:

• Researcher
• Medical Researcher
• Microbiologist
