Microbiology is at the forefront of protection against infectious diseases.
At the University of Queensland, you’ll study the diversity of microorganisms, the immune system, microbial virulence, disease states and how organisms respond to infection.
You'll learn how vaccines protect animals and humans from infectious diseases and discover the latest advances in vaccine development from lecturers who are globally recognised experts.
You'll confidently use the specialist biomedical and molecular techniques required to diagnose and characterise infectious microbes and to develop new diagnostics.
Focusing on the key areas of immunology, virology, parasitology, environmental microbiology, microbial biotechnology and microbial genomics, you'll study bacterial, fungal and viral infections and apply your knowledge in weekly laboratory practicals.
Problem-based scenarios will enhance your analytical, research and communication skills.
This major can lead to challenging and rewarding career opportunities within universities, biotechnology companies, medical and veterinary institutes, and roles in forensics, biosecurity and quarantine.
Alternatively, kickstart your career in research by progressing into a research-based honours degree.
