通过一年在工业，商业或研究环境中的学习，可以提高您的本科学位。微生物学在科学，医学，工业和社会中日益重要，因为我们一方面寻求在我们的医院和社区中控制微生物病原体，另一方面，我们在生物技术行业中利用越来越广泛的微生物。因此，微生物学也是一门应用科学，它通过研究病原体，其流行病学和对抗生素的耐药性来帮助健康和医学。微生物还广泛用于农业，食品和环境行业，例如在溢油清理中。在您的第四年，您将进行为期一年的工业实习，并在五年后以MSci（本科硕士学位）而非BSc毕业。安置有很大不同，但总的来说，您将被安置在工业，商
Enhance your undergraduate degree with a year's placement in an industrial, commercial or research environment.Microbiology is of growing importance in science, medicine, industry and society, as we seek on the one hand to control microbial pathogens in our hospitals and communities, while on the other, making use of an ever broader range of microorganisms in biotechnology industries. Microbiology is therefore also an applied science, helping health and medicine through the study of pathogens, their epidemiology, and resistance to antibiotics. Microorganisms are also widely used in the agriculture, food and environment industries, for instance in oil spill clean-up.<br>Through this degree programme, you will develop knowledge and understanding of microbiology at the molecular, cellular and systems levels. Building on that base, you will gain an in depth understanding of selected aspects of Microbiology that reflect the research expertise and strengths within the School, ensuring you are taught by leaders in a particular research field.<br>In your fourth year you will undertake a year's industrial placement and graduate after five years with an MSci (an undergraduate Masters degree) instead of a BSc. Placements vary considerably but, in general terms, you will have the opportunity to do a placement in an industrial, commercial or research environment where you will be able to develop a breadth of practical experience to complement your degree programme and enhance your employability.
