History of the Department:

The M.Sc Course in Microbiology was introduced in Bangalore University in 1992, while the Department of Studies in Microbiology with an independent status was established in 1997. Since then, the Department has steadily grown. The department has initiated M.Phil and Ph.D programmes. Thereafter in 1998, the department received grants from the UGC to start M.Sc course in Biotechnology. Being the frontier field in science, the department spared no efforts to offer education and training in the field of Biotechnology in the best possible way. Currently the department is offering the M.Sc and Ph.D courses in both Microbiology and Biotechnology and is also coordinating the M.Sc course in Microbiology and Biotechnology being offered in about 64 affiliated colleges of Bangalore University.
