Safeguarding public and animal health
MSc Veterinary Microbiology
This novel programme will provide you with an in-depth understanding of veterinary infectious diseases and their impact on man.
The MSc Veterinary Microbiology course will provide you with an excellent grounding in molecular biology, immunology and microbiology relevant to the study of veterinary microbiology. This will lead onto the study of the complex mechanisms of host/microbe interactions that are involved in the pathogenesis of specific animal diseases. This will provide insights into diagnosis and interventions such as vaccines essential for disease control.
As well as taught components, the programme provides students with unique specialist practical training in the diagnosis of important viral and bacterial diseases of global importance. These practical elements will be delivered during placements at, the Institute for Animal Health (IAH) and the AHVLA. Further research training will be provided by undertaking a practical research project within the Faculty or one of the partner institutes.
