What is Microbiology with Virology?
Microbiology with virology is the study of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi and viruses, with particular emphasis on viruses and how they affect human and animal health. A full understanding of virology requires a good knowledge of a variety of the biosciences, including the disciplines of: • immunology • biochemistry • genetics • molecular biology There is hardly an area of medicine unaffected by viruses and other microbes and they are essential for the environmental cycles that regenerate our planet. We offer four microbiology degrees, each with a slightly different emphasis. The first year content is the same for all four degrees, but as you progress you are able to specialise in certain areas.
