225 Microbiology Degree Programs

Microbiology is the study of bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa, and viruses, and is of immense importance in the environment, agriculture and food, biomedical sciences, and biotechnology. Graduates in microbiology are therefore highly sought after in these fields. Microbiology is central to many aspects of the biological sciences, from pure research to diverse industrial, medical, and environmental applications.

Microbiology with Professional Studies is the study of bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa and viruses, and is of immense importance in the environment, agriculture and food, biomedical sciences and biotechnology. Graduates in microbiology are therefore highly sought after in these fields. Microbiology is very central to many aspects of the biological sciences, from pure research to diverse industrial, medical and environmental applications.

This Master's degree offers multidisciplinary training in Microbiology, tackling different areas of application, in the lively and stimulating environment of Escola Superior de Biotecnologia (ESB). The Master in Applied Microbiology is recommended to students who have completed the 1st cycle of training in biological sciences or related fields, interested in gaining advanced knowledge and training in microbiology and in its multiple areas of application. This two years and 120 ECTS degree offers broad and specialized training in Microbiology, with the development of practical skills, problem-solving and critical reasoning, essential for a qualified professional performance in research or industry contexts.

Work on improving health and the environment by studying, applying, and manipulating microorganisms. With the MSC in Microbiology, you will study the interface between fundamental and applied ecology and medical microbiology.

MSc Specialising in Microbiology

The Master´s course in Microbiology aims to provide students with advanced skills in fundamental and applied microbiology. This is an area in which knowledge is rapidly expanding, incorporating high technological innovation and integrating several areas of the biology, such as genetics, molecular biology and immunology, among others. In this context, the training of specialists must cover the different domains in which the impact and action of microorganisms are recognized as relevant, namely, in industry, in the area of human health and in the protection of the environment.

Given the inter-campus and inter-campus nature of the Department of Microbiology and Parasitology (Santiago and Lugo Campus), the scientific interest of this Doctoral Program lies in the fact that it brings together the different lines of research in the fields of Biology, Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine, Medicine and Food Science and Technology developed by the members of the Department within the Microbiology and Parasitology Knowledge Areas.

The aim of the proposed graduate research program Environmental Analytical Chemistry and Microbiology (EACM) is to form experts with up-to-date knowledge of advanced analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, molecular biology, and environmental microbiology to elucidate the behavior and fate of contaminants from pollution sources to living organisms, to assess their impacts on ecosystem structure and functioning, and to implement solutions to maintain ecosystems health.

Join the largest grouping of microbiologists in the UK as you gain theoretical and hands-on laboratory experience in cutting-edge microbiology. Dive into a field at the forefront of understanding life at a microscopic level. With invaluable expertise, theoretical knowledge and practical lab skills, you'll be well-equipped to tackle challenges in healthcare, industry and research.

Microbiology and Immunology staff are experts in a wide array of topics across their field. This explores diverse hot topics that reflect the active research interests of the presenting staff. You will develop in-depth knowledge of current issues, as well as critical analysis skills through the discussion of research literature.

In the Master's Programme in Microbiology and Microbial Biotechnology (MMB), you find answers to these and many other important questions. You learn about the global significance of microbes as processors of life and the environment. You will gain the potential and the tools for the development of innovations in microbial biotechnological applications.

The Bachelor of Science degree with a joint major in biochemistry and microbiology enables students to acquire superior knowledge about the functioning of life on a microscopic scale and to develop advanced skills in the laboratory.

Our General Bachelor of Science program provides you with excellent basic science training and the flexibility to deepen your knowledge according to your interests, either in the biological sciences or in two of the following four disciplines: biological sciences, chemistry, microbiology or mathematics.

The main objective of the master's degree in Advanced Microbiology is to provide students with the academic and technical training that will enable them to embark on a research career in this field or to gain employment as microbiologists. In addition, it focuses particularly on providing students with comprehensive multidisciplinary training, attaching special importance to experimental work in clinical laboratories, universities or research centres under the supervision of a lecturer or specialist (this accounts for a third of the total credit load)

Increasingly strong societal demand in the fields of the Environment, sustainable development, and health now call for a synergy of cutting-edge skills involving Chemical and Biological Sciences.
