Introduction

This degree prepares students for careers in microbiology. The degree emphasizes on bacteriology, virology, mycology, parasitology and immunology and their application to human health, plant and animal agriculture and the environment. The students are admitted after passing Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) in Premedical. A student earns his or her bachelor of Microbiology degree within four years of full-time study. Courses in the first two years establish a foundation of basic knowledge for the study of microbiology. In the third and fourth year, a vast knowledge and understanding of various analyses of sequenced data, genomics and proteomics. In the final year, students may opt for a research project addressing some scientific problem with focus on the human, industrial, and environmental issues surrounding microbiology.
