School of Post Graduate Studies (SPGS)
Ph.D. Microbiology
The philosophy of the programme is hinged on producing cultured doctoral graduates with trained minds in general, while making them experts in specified areas of Microbiology.
- Research Excellence: One of the primary goals of a Ph.D. program is to conduct original and impactful research in the field of Microbiology. A Ph.D. fellow should aim to make significant contributions to knowledge through scientific research, in both the areas of basic or applied aspects of microbiology.
- Knowledge Expansion: Deepening the understanding of microbiology is essential during a Ph.D. program. One can aim to broaden the knowledge base by studying advanced topics within the field, such as microbial ecology, virology, immunology, molecular biology or microbial genetics.
- Skill Development: Use Ph.D. program to enhance research skills, experimental techniques, data analysis and critical thinking abilities. One should aim to become proficient in laboratory techniques, bioinformatics, statistical analysis, scientific writing and effective communication of their research findings.
- Publications and Presentations: Another important goal is to disseminate the research findings by publishing articles in reputable scientific journals and presenting research works at conferences. This helps to establish credibility for a researcher and contributes to the scientific community's knowledge.
- Training scholars to develop confidence in appreciating and solving problem in general with minimal or no supervision.
- Building scholars’ capacity to fit into the appropriate level of manpower to which their qualification will allow them in various employment opportunities available to Microbiologist.
- To produce highly skilled Microbiologists who can be self-employed and possibly employ others.
- Train scholars who would be able to conduct advanced researches for national and global development.
