About The Course

About the course

Our courses have a strong international reputation and the University’s strong links with London hospital laboratories and Public Health England mean you study the latest developments, practices and research. Our Centre for Investigative and Diagnostic Oncology has pioneered techniques for cancer diagnosis and treatment including developing a vaccine for bladder cancer. The Haematology department is active in research into blood cancers, HIV and AIDS.

If you’re currently working in microbiology, this master’s degree will help you progress to a more senior position. You might also wish to explore your options in a research or academic career, or even complete further study at doctoral level.

Our flexible timetable means you’ll only spend two days a week at the University if you’re studying full-time, or one day if you’re part-time which means you may well be able to study around existing work or life commitments.

What you will gain

This course is very practical and you will develop laboratory and diagnostic skills using our specialist laboratories which include a microbiology lab, a modern, well-equipped cell culture facility and cutting-edge equipment such as MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers and flow cytometers.

You will have access to an on-site molecular biology laboratory for techniques such as DNA sequencing, real-time PCR, electrophoresis and HPLC, as well as fully-equipped proteomics facilities

As well as in-depth knowledge of your subject, you will also gain a sound understanding of how to design and carry out experiments, statistical analyses as well as techniques for analysing samples and molecules. You will also develop laboratory management skills including how to manage staff, business plans, budgets, safety regulations, and quality management.

This course prepares you for management and lab supervisor roles within hospitals, universities and diagnostic laboratories within both the public and private sector.
