Microbiology

Microbiology is a dynamic field which has grown rapidly both with regard to fundamental knowledge and its application to medicine, agriculture, and industry. Dozens of biotechnology companies, formed to exploit these advances, provide employment for students with suitable training at masters level. The course studies the diversity of microbial types, how microorganisms can be used and manipulated to aid mankind and the detrimental effects (for example on health) of microorganisms. New industries devoted to genetic engineering offer microbiologists excellent career opportunities. Microbiologists are also in great demand in clinical microbiology. Microbiology graduates are well equipped for a wide variety of careers. They usually secure jobs in their respective fields of interest, most in the world of science.

Masters in Science Microbiology

The Master of Science in Microbiology degree program at Padmashree Institute of Information Sciences, affiliated to Bangalore University is intended to prepare students for eventual professional careers as microbiologists. This program is broad based, it encompasses all the major specialties within microbiology, and emphasizes laboratory work experience. The degree is designed to provide the necessary academic, practical and vocational knowledge and skills to enable you to work effectively in a wide range of microbiological settings.
