Module code: BIS4013-B
The importance of microbiology has recently come into sharp focus with the COVID-19 pandemic. This has led to prioritisation of microbiology research and major healthcare developments in this area. This module supports the programme by developing learners’ knowledge of the underlying concepts and core principles of Biomedical Science (PLO1) through the development of an understanding of microbial structure, growth and adaptation to new environments. The impact of this on human health will be introduced and built upon further by the Level 5 module Medical Microbiology and Infection Control. This module will support those students who wish to develop a career in either medical or industrial microbiology. It will provide fundamental practical experience of aseptic techniques and bacterial identification. Download the PDF for BIS4013-B_2024_5.pdf
