Why Choose This Course

Year Antibiotic Resistance (%)
2022 10
2023 (Projected) 12
A Certificate Programme in Evolutionary Bacterial Pathogenesis is increasingly significant given the rising threat of antibiotic resistance in the UK. The UK Health Security Agency estimates a substantial increase in bacterial infections; for example, over 200,000 cases are projected for 2023 (see chart). This necessitates a deeper understanding of bacterial evolution and adaptation. The programme directly addresses current industry needs by equipping professionals with the skills to combat these challenges. The rising percentage of antibiotic-resistant infections, projected to reach 12% in 2023 (see table), further emphasizes the urgency for such specialized training. This certificate helps bridge the gap between current knowledge and the evolving needs in the field of infectious disease control and research. Graduates are better positioned for roles in public health, research institutions, and pharmaceutical companies tackling the global challenge of bacterial pathogenesis.
