医学和分子病毒学

As demonstrated by the recent pandemic, many of the world's
greatest global health challenges arise from viral infections such as
SARS-CoV-2, other novel coronaviruses, HIV, Monkeypox and the Ebola and
Zika viruses. To tackle these major health threats, we need well-trained
virologists with the knowledge and skills to diagnose, treat and
prevent such disease.Our MSc Medical and Molecular Virology course will provide
education and training in medical virology to equip you with the
molecular skills and knowledge to understand the increasingly important
role molecular and bioinformatic analysis plays in modern virology.You will acquire in-depth knowledge and understanding of
viruses, the diseases they cause and how they cause them. You will also
learn how to diagnose, control and prevent infections in individuals and
in communities.Later in the course, you will choose a research project and
carry it out under the supervision of an academic or clinical
supervisor, depending on your interests. This is your opportunity to
study a relevant and topical question in medical virology using
state-of-the-art techniques and facilities.By combining academic study with the practice of clinical
virology in the health service, our MSc is highly relevant and at the
cutting edge of medical and molecular virology.
