Mission Statement
To participate in qualification of competitive pharmacists and researchers
Vision statement
The department of microbiology and immunology aims to achieve excellence in the education process of the undergraduate pharmacy students. This comes in line with the university’s vision of achieving national distinction among the Egyptian universities. To that end we are dedicated to the three following goals.
Goal 1: Providing high quality programs of undergraduate and postgraduate study. Although the laboratory and research facilities need to be improved, the department staff will work to enhance its facilities and efficiently utilize its available resources. New and innovative ideas will be sought to compensate for some shortage of facilities. For example, courses in bioinformatics and online learning can be tried beside the conventional wet labs.
Goal 2: Encouraging the basic and applied research and continuous development of the research quality to reach the international levels. More specifically, the department will aim to produce scientific research that be published in renowned and high impact factor journals. We will enhance the postgraduate students’ abilities to pursue their goals, by guiding them to develop some necessary skills such as critical reading and presentation of scientific articles, social scientific networking, and being globally aware life-long learners. The department staff members are encouraged to travel abroad to various universities worldwide to gain knowledge and experience.
Goal 3: Provide a local service for Beni-Suef community by providing expertise in microbiological issues. The department aims to positively contribute to solve the microbiology-related public problems such as combating infectious diseases and reducing the antibiotic resistance problems.
