Laboratory-, computing- and literature-based projects are available each year, featuring a wide variety of relevant medical microbiological topics and exploiting the research expertise of staff and the research facilities of the School. The allocation process takes into account students' preferences];
- teaching that draws on the combined expertise of a large and highly rated research-active department and aims to take students to the 'cutting edge' of research developments and subject applications in medical areas of Microbiology.
