Available courses

PARASITOLOGY

The Parasitology course introduces students to the study of parasites, their biology, and their relationship with hosts. It covers the classification, morphology, life cycles, transmission, and control of medically and economically important parasites. Students will learn how parasites affect human and animal health, as well as the diagnostic methods used to identify them in laboratory settings. Emphasis is placed on understanding host–parasite interactions, disease prevention, and public health significance. By the end of the course, learners will have a solid foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of parasitology essential for laboratory and field applications.

MICROBIOLOGY

The course entails the study of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and algae, focusing on their structure, classification, physiology, and ecological significance. It explores the vital roles these microbes play in health, disease, industry, and the environment. Students will learn about microbial genetics, immunology, and pathogenicity, as well as modern techniques used in microbiological research and biotechnology. The course also includes practical laboratory sessions to develop essential skills in culturing, staining, and identifying microorganisms, providing a strong foundation for careers in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, research, and environmental sciences.

LABORATORY PRACTICE

This course provides students with hands-on experience to apply theoretical knowledge gained in lectures to real-world experiments and practical tasks. It aims to develop technical skills, critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and an understanding of scientific methods. Through structured experiments, data collection, and analysis, students learn to operate laboratory equipment safely and accurately, interpret results, and communicate findings effectively. The course fosters teamwork, discipline, and an appreciation for precision and ethical conduct in experimental work, preparing students for professional or research-oriented careers in their field of study.
