Overview
The study of microbes has been essential in our current understanding of basic biological processes. It has also contributed to numerous aspects of veterinary education. Microbiology involves the study of microorganisms and their role at the molecular level in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Treatment and control of these diseases are necessary for veterinarians to be trained in the area of antimicrobial agents, their mechanism of action, and genetic factors that determine resistance and assessment. Immunology involves the study of the immune response to infectious microorganisms as well as auto-immune diseases.
The studying of microbiology enables the veterinarian to have an insight into microbiological control, aseptic, sterilization, and validation methods in the field.
The impact of microbiology on the development of the fermentation industry, and biotechnology products such as antibiotics, monoclonal antibodies, and vaccines is well documented.
Mission
We are working on offering a high-quality education and learning experience for undergraduate and postgraduate students with expertise of the highest standard in the field of Microbiology to face the increasing demand in Egypt for microbiologists.
Vision
The vision of the Department of bacteriology, immunology, and mycology is that knowledge of theory and practical aspects of Microbiology is imperative for the development of our country.

2- Bachelor degree period is 6 years.
3- Education system inside the faulty is Credit hours system. Each academic year is divided into two semesters.
4- Student per each semester takes theoretical and practical courses, mentioned in the academic plan of education program.
5- For each course, number of hours are mentioned in education plan.
6- Student is shifted from one year to next year, in case of success in all courses, failure or absence (with or without an excuse) minimum in two courses only.
7- Student who failed in more than two courses, must re-take courses failed in and undergo the exam in the next year.
8- As for senior students who failed in more than two courses, they will take the exam in the 2nd round in September. If they failed in 2nd round exam, Statement Z will be applied on them.

The faculty offers its graduates different degrees to acquire:
- Diploma degree
- Master’s degree
- PhD degree
Terms of applying:
- Student applies a request to faculty’s Dean, who shifts him\her to department’s council in charge, as to state research’s topic and program, Finally all documents will be presented to faculty’s council for needed action.
- Research topic is stated before applying at least with two years. Committee is in charge to edit research’s title.
- Faculty’s council is in charge with stopping student’s registration for a period of time, in case of applying an accepted excuse, deprives him\her from education or research completion. This period will not be included with period mentioned in (16) (17) terms.
