M.Sc. (Medical) Microbiology

The M.Sc. (Medical) Microbiology is a specialized program designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of microorganisms and their role in human health and disease.
This program delves into the study of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, focusing on their identification, pathogenesis, epidemiology, and clinical relevance. Students will explore microbiological techniques, diagnostic methodologies, antimicrobial resistance, and infection control practices. The course aims to prepare graduates for careers in clinical microbiology, diagnostic laboratories, research, and public health, equipping them with the skills needed to manage infectious diseases effectively.

Upon completion, students will be able to:

01

Understand Microbial Pathogenesis

02

Apply Diagnostic Methods

03

Research and Analyze Infectious Diseases

04

Integrate Microbiology with Clinical Practice

05

Implement Infection Control Measures

06

Contribute to Public Health

The program mandates hands-on experience through:

01

Engaging in hands-on laboratory sessions using modern microbiological tools for pathogen isolation, identification, and antibiotic susceptibility testing.

02

Clinical internships or placements in hospital microbiology labs.

03

Independent or group-based research projects focusing on topics like infectious disease epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance, or the molecular characterization of pathogens.

04

Participation in workshops on advanced microbiological techniques, infection prevention strategies, and public health response to epidemics.
