Microbiology is the study of the millions of micro-organisms, dealing with those that cause disease and making use of those of benefit to humans. It's a fascinating subject as identifying dangerous microbes, stopping their spread and treating their effects is vital and often life-saving work. This is a particularly pertinent subject to consider studying in light of the global pandemic and prospective diseases and zoonosis that are increasingly prevalent.
This Middlesex University course has a strong practical element, with an emphasis on developing the skills needed in a laboratory and gaining hands-on experience of diagnostic techniques. Students will be able to study and learn within the University's specialist laboratories which include a microbiology lab, a modern, well-equipped cell culture facility and cutting-edge equipment such as MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers and flow cytometers.
The Biomedical Science courses at Middlesex University have a burgeoning international reputation and the University's strong links with London hospital laboratories and Public Health England ensures that students will be studying the latest developments, practices and research. Middlesex University's Centre for Investigative and Diagnostic Oncology has pioneered techniques for cancer diagnosis and treatment, including their breakthrough in the development of a vaccine for bladder cancer.
