  • Philosophy and objectives:
  • PGD:

    • The objectives of the programme are to:

  • serve as a bridge to take care of deficiencies in microbiology courses of HND graduates and other relevant disciplines
  • train graduates in other relevant fields, the rudiments of microbiology, which will satisfy the manpower needs of industries, Hospitals and other relevant institutions
  • M. Tech:

    • The objective of the M. Tech. Programme in Microbiology is to train first degree graduates of this University and elsewhere on the principles of:

  • Food Microbiology: To assess the microbial composition, spoilage and preservation of foods, food sanitation, detection of food-borne pathogens that cause infections.
  • Environmental Microbiology: Microbial activities in the environment, consequences of their activities on man and animals and how their activities can be controlled or managed and harnessed.
  • Medical Microbiology: Microbial infections, etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, antimicrobial chemotherapy and antimicrobial resistance, infection and immunity.
  • Ph. D:

    • The objective of the Ph. D. Programme in Microbiology is to train M. Tech. (or its equivalent) graduates of this University and elsewhere to specialize in any area of Microbiology.

  • Admission Requirements:
  • PGD

    • The following categories of candidates can be admitted into the PGD Microbiology

  • Third class graduates of Microbiology
  • Graduates of other relevant disciplines
  • HND in relevant discipline with minimum of lower credit

  • M. Tech.

    • In addition to the University’s general regulations and guidelines on Postgraduate admission, graduates of Microbiology and Graduates of Botany, Biology, Biochemistry, Agricultural Biology, Food Science and Technology, Molecular Biology and Biotechnology who have done PGD in Microbiology with a CGPA of 3.50 may be considered for admission.

  • Ph. D

    • In addition to the University’s general regulations and guidelines on Postgraduate admission, graduates with minimum CGPA of 3.50 or 60% at Master’s level in Microbiology are considered for admission to Ph.D. degree programme.

  • Duration
  • PGD

    • Full Time: 24 months/4 semesters

    • See the regulation of the University on this.

  • Ph. D

    • See the regulation of the University on this

  • Requirement for Graduation:
  • PGD

    • For PGD Microbiology (Food and industrial Microbiology option), candidates must register for a minimum of sixty (60) course units and six (6) units of independent project.

  • M. Tech
  • A dissertation of original research work is expected to be carried out and submitted to the University at the end of the training. Candidates will be examined orally by a Board of Examiners. The composition of which is as stipulated in the University regulations on such matters.
  • Candidates must offer and normally maintain a minimum of “B” average (60-69%) in core compulsory courses and a minimum of 30 units of study are required for graduation.
  • Full-time candidates shall enrol for not more than 21 units and Part-time candidates for not more than 15 units in any one semester.
  • Ph. D
  • A candidate who registers for the Ph.D. programme must in consultation with his supervisor present seminar and submit to the Department at the end of the first semester a comprehensive research proposal for assessment by a committee set up by the Department.
  • The candidate must in consultation with his supervisor present three seminars for assessment and contributions by the Department.
  • On completion of the research project, the candidate will be required to present a seminar on the findings of the work done.
  • A thesis describing and explaining the original work carried out and written in the format specified by the Postgraduate School must be submitted at the end of the programme.
  • On submission of the thesis, the candidate will be examined orally by a Board of Examiners according to University regulation.
  • Programme Structure:
