Microbiology

Overview Microbiology underpins many of the major questions of our time, from the health and wellbeing of humans and animals to major environmental issues such as climate change and energy production. The growing antibiotic resistance of bacteria and the place of microbes in causing cancer are just two of the many pressing problems which microbiology may be able to solve. UEA’s microbiology course is uniquely formulated to train future scientists with the skills to address these issues.

The School of Biological Sciences brings a strong research-led ethos to every course we offer. As a student here, you’ll benefit from our enviable position as an integral partner of the Norwich Research Park (NRP), which is also home to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, and independent, world-renowned research institutes: the John Innes Centre, the Sainsbury Laboratory, the Earlham Institute and the Quadram Institute, all of which have microbiology-related research programmes. Norwich is recognized as a hub for microbiology research and is home to the Centre for Microbiology Interactions, which represents world renowned experts in all aspects of microbiology, including climate change, infectious diseases and antibiotic resistance.
