Microbiology is a core basic science and is a key discipline of biological studies in undergraduate science programmes. Knowledge about microbial species, microbial products, and the application of microbes to medicine, industry, and agriculture is essential. The employment sphere for microbiologists is large and ever-expanding. In recent years there has been an explosion in the types of job opportunities that are available to those with microbiology training since microbes and their actions pervade all aspects of our increasingly complex society. The programme lasts three years.
