Programme Overview

Ph.D. Microbiology is a 3- to 6-year doctorate course that aims to provide eligible candidates with research training in various topics of microbiology. This course basically deals with the advanced study of microorganisms, the study of diverse microorganisms from the molecular level to the organism and community levels in order to develop a complete picture of the role of microbial life in our biosphere, which are microscopic, unicellular, and cell-cluster organisms, and research experience in applied microbiological techniques. We work with collaborators both within the university and other research-oriented organisations, where appropriate, to give you valuable experience in methods including confocal microscopy, metabolomics, next-generation sequencing, transcriptomics, and proteomics. The programme's objective is to equip students with skills in literature review, critical thinking, and scientific communication to pursue professional opportunities in academia or industry.
