3 good reasons to study Molecular Parasitology and Vector Biology at Salford:
- Innovative, collaborative course taught jointly by the Universities of Salford, Manchester and Keele.
- Significant practical training in parasitology including intensive residential field trip to Malham Tarn.
- Excellent platform for a research career.
The three contributing universities of Salford, Keele and Manchester have considerable complementary research experience in the biology of parasites and the vectors which transmit them.
This has led to the development of this unique, pioneering joint Masters degree focusing on the molecular aspects of parasite infections and vector biology. It aims to give you a sound insight into the biology of parasites and their control and provides you with contemporary studies of research on immunological and molecular aspects of selected parasites and vector/parasite relationships.You will gain research techniques appropriate to the parasitology and entomology.
