Programme description

Our PhD/MPhil Microbiology programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Microbiology.

Microorganisms play pivotal roles in everyday life, from elemental cycling and the production of food to life-threatening infections of man and animals.

At Manchester, there are two main research topics - Molecular Bacteriology and Molecular Mycology.

Molecular Bacteriology is focused on studying bacterial pathogens of man and includes the following areas:

• the role of bacterial polysaccharides and glycoconjugates in disease;
• relationship between infection and gut flora;
• structural biology of cell surface proteins in bacterial pathogens including their interaction with the immune system and implications for vaccine development;
• adaptation of intracellular bacterial pathogens to life inside the cell;
• development of novel approaches to combat antibiotic resistance;
• mechanisms used by bacterial pathogens to handle transition metals and their role in host-pathogen interactions

Teaching and learning

PhD/MPhil programmes are based on individual research projects that last three to four years (PhD) or one year (MPhil), working with a specific Primary Supervisor and Co-Supervisor(s).

Applicants are specifically matched with a Primary Supervisor and individual project based on their research interests and background.

International applicants interested in this research area can also consider the our PhD programme with integrated teaching certificate .

This unique programme will enable you to gain a Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning, whilst also carrying out independent research on your chosen project.

Career opportunities

Your postgraduate research degree will open up a range of career opportunities after you graduate.
