The Department of Microbiology was established as a new Department in the Faculty of Science following the split of Department of Applied and Environmental Biology into three (3) new Departments [Applied and Environmental Biology (AEB), Microbiology (MCB) and Plant Science and Biotechnology (PSB)] in 2015/2016 academic session and the pioneer Head of Department was appointed to oversee the running of the Department.
In 2016/2017 session, the establishment of the Department was confirmed by the NUC Resource Verification Team, since then the Department of Microbiology became a full-fledged Department in the Faculty of Science. The Department runs a four-year programme that leads to the award of Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Microbiology. The undergraduate programme is designed to provide fundamental knowledge in Microbiology and its application is such that the graduates are well equipped to meet the changing needs of modern scientific knowledge in bio-scientific and biotechnological studies.
The Postgraduate programme of the Department had her graduands in 2019/2020 Academic Session. A wide spectrum of Microbiological areas of specialization are covered in the Department at *PGD, M.Sc and Ph.D levels which include;
