Bachelor of Science (Microbiology)
The BSc in Microbiology offers a comprehensive understanding of microorganisms and their impact on health, the environment, and industries. B.Sc. in microbiology is a 3-year undergraduate program that covers Biochemistry, physiology and genetics of micro-organisms. The faculty of applied science designed the program to provide knowledge of microbial genetics, microbiology, and virology to help the understudies build a career in healthcare, pharmaceutical, environmental science and research and job profiles after completing a bachelor of science in microbiology are mycologist, microbiologist and Parasitologist.
According to the Shiksha report, the clinical microbiology industry is projected to grow to USD 150 million. The average entry-level salary in India ranges between 3 and 5 LPA. Learn about the basics of living organisms, such as bacteria, fungi and protozoa. The experienced faculty of the applied science college focuses on both aspects of learning, theoretical knowledge and practical training. Future University provides the best hi-tech library to give practical exposure to understudies.
