The Women University Multan
"ilm tafakkur tadabbur"
The science has its roots in fundamental human needs of nutrition, health and environmental control that offer the opportunity to study microbiology as microbes are the center of biological sciences. On the other hand, molecular genetics constitute an integral part of modern biotechnology that has a significant impact on our lives from DNA finger printing to development of vaccination. Keeping in view the importance of both subjects, MMG department is projected to cover both fields in understanding the fundamental process of life at the insightful level and committed to provide advance and innovative approaches both at academic and research level in the field of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. Rich course curriculum and updated research laboratories with experienced, supportive and passionate faculty help in the sharpening of research and scientific communication skills.
To serve society through innovation in education, research and creativity.
The Department of MMG visualizes itself as a pioneer provider of first-rate education and research in microbiology and molecular genetics by applying comprehensive, rigorous and unconventional methods to the microbial world. Our department’s mission is to train undergraduate, graduate and post graduate students for careers in microbiology and molecular genetics through excellence in teaching, research, and service and to build a strong teaching and research environment by collaborating with other institutes to resolve the glitches/problems of national interests.
The main objectives of this department are to
Admission to first year BS in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics will be open to any female student who:
1. Has passed the Intermediate Examination with Pre-Medical Group or any Equivalent Examination
2. Is not more than 24 years old.
3. In the case of candidate securing equal marks, merit will be determined on the basis of marks obtained in the immediate examination.
4. Not less than 50% marks in academic career.
5. Not less than 60% marks in the subject(Biology) in intermediate examination
