It appears that 獨協医科大学(Dokkyo Medical University) in Japan does not offer a standalone B.Sc. in Microbiology as an undergraduate degree program in the way many universities outside Japan do. Instead, the Department of Microbiology is part of the School of Medicine’s Faculty/Department structure, where microbiology is taught as a core component of medical education for students training to become doctors. In this context, students in the six-year medical program study microbiology alongside other foundational medical sciences to understand infectious diseases, host–pathogen interactions, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment within a clinical setting, but this is integrated into the Medical (M.D.) curriculum rather than a separate Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology.
At Dokkyo Medical University, the Department of Microbiology conducts both research and education focused on understanding pathogenic microorganisms (including viruses, bacteria and fungi), infection mechanisms, diagnostics, antimicrobial strategies and infection control. The department’s teaching components are aimed at medical students to ensure they have a comprehensive understanding of microbiology as it relates to clinical medicine, especially infectious disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Opportunities also exist for students to engage in research projects under faculty supervision.
If you are specifically seeking a B.Sc. in Microbiology bachelor’s degree (a standalone undergraduate science degree), that type of program would usually be offered by universities with dedicated science faculties or life science departments, rather than a medical university whose undergraduate program is primarily a medical degree (M.D.) with microbiology as a subject within it.
NOTE: The university may have additional program-specific eligibility requirements. It is recommended to verify these on the official university website.
