Bachelor of Science in Medical Microbiology Syllabus
The Bachelor of Science in Medical Microbiology (B.Sc Medical Microbiology) is a three-year undergraduate program that explores the intricate world of microorganisms and their role in medicine and healthcare. This course equips students with a deep understanding of pathogenic microorganisms, their diagnostics, prevention, and treatment. The curriculum emphasizes microbial physiology (Microbial Physiology and Biochemistry), immunology, virology (Virology Page), and laboratory techniques essential for research and clinical applications.
