Approximately 160 students are taught Microbiology in the 2nd year of the B.Sc. degree, followed by 150 students in 3rd Year, and up to 75 students in the 4th year course.

Microbiology staff also direct a denominated B.Sc. degree in Environmental Science (20-30 students per year), and is active in the delivery of two other denominated B.Sc. degrees in Biotechnology (approx. 20 students per year) and Marine Science (approx. 20 students per year).

In addition, staff from Microbiology are actively involved in teaching in the College of Medicine, Nursing and Midwifery and Health Sciences, where they are responsible for teaching Human Genetics to both Medical and Nursing students, as well as contributing to the Master of Medical Science degree course.
