Bachelors Degree in Microbiology

The Bachelor's Degree in Microbiology is a response to the accelerating growth of this research area and its important applications in agriculture, health, the environment, biotechnology and engineering. Microorganisms are responsible for the deterioration of food but we also exploit them to produce food, medicine, chemical products, vitamins and enzymes, and to treat waste and purify water. Only 1% of microbial biodiversity has been identified, and its rapid evolution means that new pathogens are appearing that are resistant to antibiotics.
