Program Overview

The Microbiology (BSc) provides a comprehensive study of modern microbiology, ranging from environmental to medical to molecular microbiology. It is the study of life, infectious agents and biological processes at the microscopic level. This field will introduce you to a world of organisms that live among us — from those involved in food production to those that infect and give rise to disease to those that help elements cycle through the environment or live in symbiosis with other organisms, including ourselves.

The Department of Microbiology offers multiple programs of study leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology.

The Faculty of Science Major program provides students with extensive study in their chosen field while allowing for educational breadth through other subjects of interest. The Major program offers flexibility and opportunities to select electives from other disciplines at the University of Manitoba. This flexibility means that the Major program doesn’t provide the same level of professional training as the Honours program.  

Students in a Major program are eligible to apply for Co-op, which provides exposure to the industry and valuable work experience. Students normally enter the program after the second year including designated courses and grades.

Co-operative Education :

The Faculty of Science Co-operative Education program is an excellent way for students to enhance their classroom learning with on-the-job experience. Available in most Major and Honours programs, Co-operative education is a form of experiential learning that integrates academic education with relevant, supervised and paid work experience. Co-op students gain valuable skills to guide them through their academic education and prepare them for future careers after graduation.
