About the Department
The Department of Microbiology focuses on the study of microorganisms that cause infectious diseases and their role in human health and disease.
The department provides students with a strong foundation in bacteriology, virology, mycology and parasitology. Through classroom teaching and laboratory-based learning, students develop an understanding of infectious diseases, diagnostic methods and principles of infection prevention and control.
Teaching & Learning
The department uses a combination of academic and practical approaches to develop a clear understanding of pharmacology.
- Interactive lectures and academic discussions
- Microbiology laboratory practicals
- Microscopic examination and identification
- Culture and diagnostic techniques
- Case-based infectious disease learning
- Infection prevention and control education
Practical learning
Laboratory-based learning helps students understand how microorganisms are identified and how laboratory investigations contribute to the diagnosis of infectious diseases.
Students develop familiarity with specimen handling, microscopic examination, culture-based methods and interpretation of microbiological findings while connecting laboratory results with clinical conditions.
