MASTER'S PROGRAMME IN MICROBIOLOGY,12O CREDITS

STOCKHOLM UNIVERSITY

The Masters Programme in Microbiology aims to give a deeper understanding of how bacteria, viruses, fungi and
protozoa interact with the environment and affect biological systems at molecular, cellular and organism level.
Knowledge in microbiology is important in medicine, food industry, agriculture, technology, chemistry, and geology. In
the Masters Programme you will meet different aspects of microbiology, such as pathogenic microbes, biological
diversity, evolution, and biotechnology. The identification of new emerging microbial pathogens and the global
emergence of multiple antibiotic resistance show that pathogenic microorganisms will remain a very significant health
problem in the years to come. In depth knowledge of microorganisms is essential to develop new diagnostic tools,
medicines, and vaccines. Within the Programme you may choose among courses such as Infection biology, Immunology,
and Plant-microbe interactions. The goal of the Masters programme is to give an insight into the subject through theory,
experiments and other relevant work, so that you get a complete understanding of the life of microorganisms. You will
also carry out a degree project at the department that is responsible for the programme; Genetics, Microbiology and
Toxicology (GMT). The Masters Programme in Microbiology opens career possibilities at public authorities, universities,
and industry, especially research and development in biotechnology, pharmacological and medical industry, food
industry, as well as nutrition. This Masters Programme at Stockholm University is also directed towards anyone
interested in entering research or research training at the university.
