Key Course Facts
Course Description
Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London, has a long history of providing high quality postgraduate education for clinicians and scientists working in the National Health Service (NHS), Public Health England (PHE) and industry. The aim of this programme is to prepare you for the next stage of your career, whether pursuing further research or professional study.
Students on this course will share many of the formal teaching and practical sessions with students on the MSc Biomedical Science (Medical Microbiology) and MSc Clinical Science (Infection Science) courses, allowing inter-professional learning, but each course has its own unique additional teaching, electronic learning resources and assessments.
The course aims to promote teaching and learning enriched by original scholarship and scientific research; encouraging students to become independent learners.
Formal teaching comprises lectures, workshops, practical classes and demonstrations. Many of the lecturers are specialists in their field and are invited from many institutions within the UK.
The practical classes are an important component of the course and are designed to give the students hands-on experience, particularly in basic clinical microbiology. Students are encouraged to relate current practices in their workplace to their studies, and to discuss and critically evaluate these techniques with their colleagues in light of their formal teaching. The practical classes are taught in the purpose-built teaching laboratory, which is well equipped with all necessary materials and is based on a routine clinical microbiology laboratory.
