    BSc Programs in Microbiology

    A bachelor's degree is the first step in higher education. Students have an excellent opportunity to learn the fundamental education that will become the foundation for their future. Upon graduation, you can choose to continue your education in a master's program, or you can pursue a career using the knowledge you have.

    What is a BSc in Microbiology? Microbiology focuses primarily on medicine and diseases. The world always needs upcoming biologists to continue the research of disease prevention, causation, and treatment. A Bachelor's program gets students started down this path, usually incorporating clinical or laboratory work to supplement classroom study. Specializations in microbiology include virology, immunology, and epidemiology, but more general studies can be taken as well. Work in the pharmaceutical industry is also possible.

    Graduates of the microbiology field benefit from a very fulfilling career. The research done by professional scientists in this area save lives every day. Students also enter a field in which there is a great demand for experts.

    Tuition for microbiology programs vary quite a bit. Many factors, including the length and country of study, the specific program and school, and full-time or part-time status will play a role in determining costs. Your first step should be to research all your options to find a program that works with your needs.

    A degree in microbiology prepares students for work in research facilities, more so than in hospitals or healthcare services. There are still many career options to choose from, however. It is possible to work as a physician, biomedical scientist, or pharmacist with government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, private health care services, or even with medical schools. For work that most directly helps the public, graduates should pursue a career as a pharmacist.
