Molecular Parasitology and Vector Biology. Keele University

The three contributing universities of Keele, Salford 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 MSc degree between the three institutions, focusing on molecular biology, aspects of parasite infections and vector biology. The initial teaching is based at Salford but is undertaken by staff from all three institutions. Students are then able to carry out an extensive research project in one of the three universities.
