A Ph.D. in Microbial Physiology is a research-based program that studies the metabolic processes and physiological systems of microorganisms. The program typically lasts 3 to 5 years and covers topics such as microbial development, metabolism, environmental adaptation, and microbial interactions. Students do experimental study to better understand how microorganisms respond to various situations, such as stress, nutrition availability, and pathogenic habitats. In most cases, admission needs a Master's degree in microbiology, biochemistry, or a related subject. Graduates make contributions to subjects such as medical microbiology, biotechnology, environmental science, and industrial applications, working in academic research, healthcare, or biotechnology.
