The MSc Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Nottingham combines in-depth instruction on microbes, immune responses, and their complex interactions that lead to disease or health. It has a strong research-led focus, directly linked to key contemporary issues such as COVID-19, antimicrobial resistance, and the role of immunity in health. Students gain advanced knowledge of host cell control, immune responses to infection, and the mechanisms pathogens use to manipulate the immune system. It is suitable for students transitioning from other biology disciplines or returning to academic study and involves both taught modules (120 credits) and a 60-credit research project. Graduates are well prepared for doctoral research or work in industry, government, or clinical laboratories.
