MICROBIOLOGY DEGREE PROGRAMME
The programme is designed to expose students to the basic fields of specialisation in Microbiology and their relationships with other biological disciplines. Students are exposed to both pure and applied courses in Microbiology with the main aim of satisfying the man-power needs of research institutes, secondary schools, institutions of higher learning, industries, and hospitals.
The programme prepares the students for self-employment and the make meaningful contributions in all forms of professional activities in which they may become engaged. It also offers sufficient knowledge of theoretical principles to enable promising graduates undertake postgraduate work in Microbiology and related disciplines.

A MICROBIOLOGIST CAN WORK AS:
Bacteriologist:
Seek to answer basic questions about bacterial growth, metabolism, diversity and evolution.
Biochemist:
Discover and teach us how organisms obtain energy, consume nutrients and reproduce.
Biotechnologist:
Manipulate genes in order to modify microorganisms. Their work produced novel organisms that make new products for human use. (i.e. insulin, medicine, grocery store items).
Cell Biologists:
Explore the actions of molecules on and in the cell. Their investigations determine how microorganisms and cell function.
Clinical Microbiologist:
Determine the cause of infections in humans and animals and what anti-microbial may be effective for treatment. They play a central role in the detection of new infectious agents.
Environmental Scientists:
Investigate the effects of biological, chemical, and geophysical activity on the environment. Their studies provide information necessary for helping humanity cope with the consequences of life.
Geneticists:
Geneticists study the process by which organisms inherit and transmit genetic information.
Immunologists:
Investigate the body's defense against disease. To answer basic questions about bacterial growth, metabolism, diversity and evolution.
Mycologist:
Explore the various uses of molds and yeasts for the production of antibiotics as well as food.
Parasitologists:
Investigate the complex life cycles of and adaptations made by organisms which depend on other organisms for survival.
Science Writer:
Write articles for the general public as well as for microbiology professionals. They must have a thorough understanding of language, grammar and science.
Teachers:
Educate students about the usefulness and uniqueness of microorganisms.
Virologists:
Study viruses and bacteria phases. Virologists are interested in how viruses change and are always on the alert for new types.
Continuing Education:
With a min of 3.5 CGPA, a master graduate can go for a Ph.D. program.
How to Apply:
Through the school of postgraduate website opened for application once every year May-July
