Microbiology with Entrepreneurship - BSc (Hons)

Our BSc Microbiology with Entrepreneurship course will enable you to combine science with business skills - a key driver of employability. This course involves the study of microorganisms with particular emphasis on the biology of bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoan parasites. Microbiologists are needed to do the research required to battle against infectious diseases worldwide, understanding the environmental importance of microbes and to exploit them for food production, biotechnological and industrial applications. The main focus of our course is the pathogenic potential of the organisms that cause disease in man. You will also cover aspects of the biochemistry, physiology and genetics of microorganisms. You will spend your first year learning fundamental concepts before specialising in microbiology topics in your later years. The entrepreneurship units will be offered via the [Masood Enterprise Centre (MEC)](https:www.entrepreneurship.manchester.ac.uk) of the [Alliance Manchester Business School](https:www.alliancembs.manchester.ac.uk) at the University, exposing you to key learning in business innovation. The course also includes a year in industry on a research or business placement.
