B.Sc. Physics

The objective of this program is to provide theoretical and practical training aimed at enabling students acquire microbiological knowledge and techniques necessary for industries such as breweries, food processing and preservation, water works, pharmaceuticals, and research institutions. In addition, the program aims to train students where appropriate to acquire the knowledge necessary for healthcare delivery especially in pathological and immunological laboratories and to monitor environmental pollution.

Objectives of Degree Program
The microbiology program aims at the production of scientific and technological manpower necessary for achieving national goals. The objectives of the programme are:

• To produce microbiologists who have a strong background in general microbiology.
  
• To provide theoretical and practical training aimed at enabling students acquire microbiological knowledge and techniques necessary for industries such as breweries, food processing and preservation, water works, pharmaceuticals and research institutions.
  
• To train students, where appropriate to acquire the knowledge necessary for health care delivery especially in pathological and immunological laboratories and to monitor environmental pollution.
  
• To provide courses in Microbiology to students of other departments and other Faculties where degree options require some knowledge of the areas listed in (ii) and (iii) above.
  

Education
The curriculum is delivered by dedicated, motivated, research active staff, who provide up-to-date information in their respective disciplines. A range of teaching and assessment techniques are used and due emphasis is given to the development of generic transferable skills (IT, communication, teamwork, self-management, problem solving) for the employment market.

Admission Requirements
Candidates must obtain a minimum of ‘D’ grade at A-Levels in Physics and Mathematics. Preference will be given to candidates with a pass in Advanced Level Further Mathematics. Candidates with equivalent qualifications will be considered.
