Programme Overview

The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Microbiology is a two-year postgraduate program that provides a deep understanding of microorganisms, their interactions with the environment, and their applications in healthcare, industry, and biotechnology. The curriculum covers bacteriology, virology, mycology, immunology, microbial genetics, and industrial microbiology.

Students receive extensive hands-on training in microbial techniques, bioinformatics, genetic engineering, and bio-processing, preparing them for careers in medical research, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, food safety, and environmental microbiology.

Programme Objectives

  • Provide in-depth knowledge of microbial structure, function, and applications.
  • Develop laboratory skills in microbiological techniques, genetic analysis, and fermentation technology.
  • Train students in molecular biology, immunology, and microbial biotechnology.
  • Foster analytical and problem-solving skills for industrial and healthcare microbiology.
  • Enhance research skills in antimicrobial resistance, vaccine development, and disease control.
  • Encourage the development of eco-friendly microbial solutions for environmental sustainability.
  • Equip students for careers in pharmaceutical, food, and biotechnology industries.
  • Promote ethical research and compliance with biosafety regulations.

Programme Outcomes

Graduates of M.Sc. Microbiology will be able to:

  • Analyze microbial physiology, genetics, and interactions with human health and the environment.
  • Conduct research in clinical microbiology, vaccine development, and antimicrobial resistance.
  • Apply microbiological principles in pharmaceutical, food safety, and industrial production.
  • Develop bio-based solutions for waste management, pollution control, and energy production.
  • Work in diagnostic laboratories, healthcare research, and forensic microbiology.
  • Utilize bioinformatics and computational tools for microbial genomics and biotechnology.
  • Contribute to scientific advancements in disease control and bioprocessing industries.
