Why study Microbiology at Dundee?
The Microbiology degree programme at Dundee deals with aspects of the subject ranging from those of medical importance (such as infectious diseases and immunology) to those of environmental and biotechnological importance (such as control of pollution and bioremediation).
Major areas of microbiological research include aspects of fundamental and applied microbiology, ranging from mechanisms by which microbial pathogens and their hosts interact to environmental decontamination, and involve molecular, cellular and environmental studies using model organisms as well as those of health and economic significance.

Why study Microbiology at Dundee?
The Microbiology degree programme at Dundee deals with aspects of the subject ranging from those of medical importance (such as infectious diseases and immunology) to those of environmental and biotechnological importance (such as control of pollution and bioremediation).
Major areas of microbiological research include aspects of fundamental and applied microbiology, ranging from mechanisms by which microbial pathogens and their hosts interact to environmental decontamination, and involve molecular, cellular and environmental studies using model organisms as well as those of health and economic significance.
Our Microbiology degree programme reflects the enormous breadth of the subject and recent research developments are reflected in our teaching, particularly at the advanced levels where you can choose modules from a wide menu of options taught at the level of current research.
What's so good about Life Sciences at Dundee?Practical experience
Dundee can offer you a range of Level 4 Research Projects in leading laboratories because of its high level of top-rated research activity in these areas. Many students also work on summer projects between their third and fourth years.
Carla Brown has recently worked on a summer project in the Wellcome Trust Centre.
She says "Throughout this project I looked into the mechanisms and factors driving biofilm formation in the model organism Bacillus subtilis. This project was extremely helpful as it introduced me to the world of research and improved my confidence and laboratory techniques."
Our close links
Our programme is multidisciplinary, reflecting the overall breadth of microbiology and benefiting from the strengths of the College of Life Sciences at Dundee in the biosciences and from our links with Ninewells Hospital & Medical School and the Scottish Crop Research Institute.
Study abroad
There are also opportunities to study abroad, for example on the Transatlantic Student Exchange Scheme.
