在校园
微生物学是对细菌、真菌、藻类、原生动物和病毒的研究，对于环境、农业和食品、生物医学科学和生物技术具有极其重要的意义。因此，微生物学专业的毕业生在这些领域备受追捧。微生物学对于生物科学的许多方面都非常核心，从纯粹的研究到各种工业、医学和环境应用。
微生物在人类、动物和植物的疾病中发挥着重要作用。微生物学家在诊断和通过发现有效疗法来对抗此类疾病方面发挥了核心作用。
通过全球环境过程以及元素和废物的回收，微生物在生物圈中也发挥着核心作用
在生物技术和合成生物学中，微生物在饮料、药品、生物燃料和许多其他有用产品的制造中也至关重要。
微生物学学位亮点
全球机遇
从医学到生物技术再到环境科学，许多不同领域都需要微生物学家。该主题实际上适用范围非常广泛，并且可以带来非常多样化的职业道路。
专业认证
微生物学学位遵循生物科学中心（高等教育学院）发布的微生物学高等教育项目国家学科概况。这些学位也与美国微生物学会描述的微生物学核心课程大体一致。我们的学位受到高度评价——在全国学生调查中始终获得高分。
皇家生物学会
本课程已获得英国皇家生物学会的认可。这凸显了课程的学术质量，并认可了该课程使毕业生能够通过发展技术和可转移技能来满足雇主的需求。
行业链接
往届学生曾在北爱尔兰水务有限公司、北爱尔兰环境局、法医科学服务处、NHS、诺布鲁克实验室、Randox 实验室、Almac Group 和 Moy Park 等组织获得工作实习机会。
世界级的设施
微生物学与全球粮食安全研究所密切相关，主要由相关人员教授。
学生体验
这些项目的工作实习为学生提供了利用在学位教学过程中获得的实践技能并将其应用到工作环境中的机会。

Assessment
How you are assessed will vary according to the Learning outcomes of each module. Details of how each module is assessed are shown in the Student Handbook which is provided to all students during their first year induction.
- Some modules are assessed solely through project work or written assignments.
- Others are assessed through a combination of coursework and end-of-semester examinations.
Microbiology is an interdisciplinary subject with key links to the other Biological Sciences, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Environmental Engineering, and Medicine.
Graduates are qualified to take up both scientific and non-scientific careers.
Many job opportunities are available in biomedical, industrial, and government organizations, and in universities and colleges of higher education.
These jobs cover innovative research, the development of new products, advisory, and consultancy work or teaching. All are aimed at improving the health, environment, and economy of countries in both the developed and developing world. In particular, companies and organizations concerned with animal and plant health, food and beverage processing, water quality, environmental management, pharmaceutical products, and biotechnology require graduates in microbiology.
Job opportunities exist across several areas including:
Healthcare: Microbiologists are essential in the fight against infectious diseases working in hospitals and Health Protection Laboratories. Here they diagnose infections, monitor treatments, develop vaccines, provide advice, or track disease outbreaks.
Basic research: To either solve the problems caused by microorganisms or exploit their capabilities fundamental research on their biochemistry and genetics is required. Many microbiologists work in universities and research institutes exploring the detailed workings of microbial cells.
Environment: One of the greatest challenges currently facing society is that of climate change and environmental protection. Microbiologists are key players in the development of waste treatment technologies, recycling processes, pollution warning systems, and the production of green energy.
Agriculture: Pest management is an essential component of modern agricultural practice. Microbiologists have key roles to play in the development of pest control systems and the diagnosis and treatment of animal pathogens.
Business: Microbiologists work in many bioscience and food companies, carrying out research, developing new products, or carrying out quality control of manufacturing processes to ensure the microbiological safety of goods such as medicines, cosmetics, food, drinks, etc.
实验室之外：许多受过培训的微生物学家从未在微生物学领域工作过。但是，他们可以利用自己的技能和知识从事营销、技术支持、监管事务、教育、专利律师、公共关系、新闻和出版等职业。
Prizes and Awards
A level 2 prize is awarded to the best overall student in conjunction with the UK Microbiology Society.
Degree plus award for extra-curricular skills
In addition to your degree programme, at Queen's you can have the opportunity to gain wider life, academic and employability skills. For example, placements, voluntary work, clubs, societies, sports, and lots more. So not only do you graduate with a degree recognized by a world-leading university, but you'll also have practical national and international experience plus a wider exposure to life overall. We call this Degree Plus. It's what makes studying at Queen's University Belfast special.
