Best universities in Australia for Microbiology

Microbiology sits within the science field, and five registered courses are available in it. Three providers offer those courses: the University of New South Wales, the University of Newcastle and the University of Western Australia. If you are comparing options, that is a small set to work through, which makes it easier to look at each one properly rather than skim a long list. Only two study levels are on offer here, a Master's Degree and a PhD or Doctorate. There is no undergraduate entry point in this subject area, so you would be coming to it after a prior degree. Five courses across three providers means some institutions cover more than one level, so check which level each course sits at before you start comparing them.
