Antimicrobial Resistance

In this course, we take a ‘One Health’ approach to understanding antimicrobial resistance (AMR). We consider the important roles that humans, animals, and the environment play in the emergence and spread of AMR.  

AMR is therefore recognised as a significant global threat to healthcare and society. AMR is a leading cause of death globally and has been referred to as a ‘silent pandemic’. 

Who is it for?

This course requires no prior knowledge of microbiology. It is ideal for those who are new to the topic or are taking an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and tackling AMR, including:  

• Professionals, organisations, and teams with AMR in their portfolio
• Early-career researchers/postgraduate researchers undertaking research 

What will you learn?

• Key concepts in antimicrobial resistance 
• Understand the role that the environment, animals, and humans play in the spread of antimicrobial resistance 
• How to make research useful for different stakeholders including industry, government, researchers and others
