About M.Sc. (Microbiology)

Microbiology-based research models continue to provide solutions to a variety of fundamental and forensic questions in the fields of metabolic factors, genetics, cell formation, and microbiology. This has expanded the awareness and reach of microbiologists in most areas of applied science. Microorganisms are responsible for breaking down oils in oil spills, pesticides, and herbicides to generate energy within the body. In addition to this importance, microbes also play an important role in identifying the genetics, species, and cultures of organisms.

Sandip University offers her a two-year full-time Master's degree in Microbiology divided into her four semesters. Each semester lasts six months, followed by semester tests. Microbiology as a graduate science major has emerged as an important branch of life sciences, involving the detailed study of microbes and the molecular biology structure of organisms for research purposes. Microbiologists study these organisms using microscopes and other advanced techniques. Various tools used in research help scientists study and understand the evolutionary stages of microorganisms and their habitats. Cultivation is the process that describes the growth of microorganisms.
