For international students proof of English Language proficiency will be required. In line with undergraduate medicine we require a minimum of English GCSE grade B or IELTS 7.5.
Covering a broad range of topics including bacteriology, virology and immunology, this course in microbiology provides a strong basis for almost any career in medicine.
Feedback from graduates is very positive. Here are some comments:
"The course was well-organised, interesting and incredibly well supported. I thoroughly enjoyed my dissertation project and the laboratory work was great fun! Furthermore, since returning to my Medicine degree, I have been the envy of my peers for my knowledge about microbes!"
“Studying intercalated microbiology at Leeds was brilliant fun and endlessly useful for my continuing studies and my future career as a doctor. It is the only programme that relates to all aspects of medicine. The academic support was brilliant and I am still in contact with many of the staff.”
