在这里学什么？

Gain an advanced education and training in the biological sciences, within the context of a range of human diseases that affect a significant proportion of the global population.

Overview

The programme provides training in the modern practical, academic and research skills that are used in academia and industry. Through a combination of lectures, small-group seminars and practical classes, you apply this training towards the development of new strategies to combat the spread of infectious diseases.

The programme culminates with a research project under the supervision of faculty that currently perform research on disease-causing microorganisms.

Teaching and assessment

Assessment is by examination, coursework and the research project.
