Microbiology

Microbiology is the study of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and algae, and their interactions with the environment. It is also an area of study that plays a pivotal role in understanding other life science disciplines, such as medicine, agriculture, ecology, and pharmacy. Studies in cloning, recombinant DNA technology, and gene sequencing are part of the program. The departments of Microbiology and Chemistry offer a joint Honours program and a joint Four Year Major program in biochemistry and a joint Honours program in biotechnology.
