Department of nature sciences and life
Program name: Bachelor’s degree in applied microbiology
- Level: Master
- Domain: natural sciences life and nature
- Field: biological sciences
- Specialty: applied microbiology
- Program Description:
Microbiology is considered a developing science at the heart of many applications resulting from the biological revolution. It has a significant economic impact and is considered a strategic discipline in research and development policies.
it is a discipline that has many applications in the food and bio-product industries, nutrition, health and the environment. The societal challenges related to the control of microorganisms in the food, water, environment, cosmetics and health sectors require the training of competent managers in the field of microbiology.
- Entry Requirements
Students holding a license in Biology with an orientation in Microbiology, Students must acquire a specific mastery of the strategies, approaches and methods to be implemented, validated or under development, to allow the prevention of health accidents. or exploit the properties of microorganisms.

- Other
The deepening of knowledge of micro-organisms in view of their importance for biotechnology and medicine;
-the understanding and control of their activities when they are harmful (microbiological examination of samples and biological fluids, antibiotic therapy, etc.),
– the use and improvement of their properties when they are beneficial (yeasts, yogurt, antibiotics, etc.).
– Industrial applications of microorganisms (fermentation, production of enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, food supplements, bioremediation, biotransformation, production of pesticides, biofuel); – The development of new health food products (probiotics;
– Factors involved in “micro-organism-animal host” interactions, – The role of micro-organisms in ecosystems; – Symbiotic associations between micro-organisms and plants; – The place of micro-organisms in the development of biogeochemical cycles; – Optimization of treatment of pollution by microbiological means.
The theoretical and practical lessons provided will allow the training of Microbiologists directly operational in the analysis and quality control laboratories (water, food, health, etc.) or in the production sectors (medicines, dairy products and derivatives). , yeasts,…
The training aims to train executives with multidisciplinary skills in applied microbiology. It allows students to acquire different skills required in different fields: -Agro-food industries -Biological and pharmaceutical industries-Hygiene laboratories and veterinary services (laboratories for control and repression of fraud)-Research and development laboratories-Water treatment industries, Students could also pursue higher education: PhD.
