Biological and Biomedical Sciences (Microbiology), BA (Hons)

Microbiology involves examining the structures, life processes, and activities of microorganisms—such as bacteria, protists, fungi, and viruses—and their beneficial and detrimental impacts on plants, animals, humans, and the environment. It also explores controlling these effects and applying microbial processes in biotechnology. Microbiologists are adaptable experts who study microbes at cellular and molecular levels, utilizing various techniques and demonstrating proficiency in microbial biochemistry and genetics.
