Overview The M.Sc. degree in Molecular and Applied Microbiology aims to offer graduates the possibility of acquiring extensive and pluridisciplinary knowledge on applied microbiology, focusing at molecular level. At the end, the graduates complement their theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience on an array of disciplines of microbiology provided by a team of experienced academics and research scientists. The comprehensive knowledge on theoretical and practical aspects acquired through the Master’s degree in Molecular and Applied Microbiology prepares graduates to undertake challenges in their future careers, either academic or professional. Key features Microorganisms play vital roles in the environment, either harmful or beneficial, hence exploration of their applied use, elucidation of the cellular mechanisms at molecular level and exploitation of the microorganisms in the fields of agriculture, food industry, biotechnology and medicine are essential. This degree programme explores the molecular and applied aspects of microorganisms and integrates the practical skills essential to a practical molecular microbiologist through the intensive practical training in microbiology and molecular biology related techniques.
