About
About the course Information in this major covers basic immunology including allergic diseases and microbiology including microbial ecology, physiology and genetics of microbes. This knowledge can be applied in many diverse careers including but not limited to medicine, public health and industrial activities such as environmental testing, food production and patent law. The Microbiology and Immunology major is distinguished by the embedding of the discipline's research strengths in virology, bacteriology and immunology. You'll be taught by the people conducting this cutting-edge research and you will discuss, apply and expand on the theoretical content of your unit in weekly practical laboratory classes and structured tutorials. You will develop skills in fundamental techniques such as culturing techniques for the isolation and characterisation of bacteria, the use of microscopy for the identification of microbes, and data recording. A strong emphasis is placed on applications in biomedicine and biotechnology.
