Overview

Metagenomics are used to examine the complex interactions in microbial populations. This is applied to improve gut health, control fermented food production and to study the spread of antimicrobial resistance determinants.

During this Microbiology (Biosciences) programme from University of Nottingham , students use techniques such as phenomics, genomics and transcriptomics to relate microbial physiology to gene regulation and expression and to understand their environmental control.

PhD or MPhil?

A PhD is an independent in-depth research project. You will be able to develop additional skills through training programmes to help you complete your PhD. See the support section for more details.

An MPhil is a shorter research degree. You will do a research project over one to two years. You'll have a supervisor to support you. An MPhil is assessed by a research thesis.
