Profile

The Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada, since the establishment of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada has been managed independently as a Microbiology section, which manages courses: Microbiology I (4 credits), Microbiology II (4 credits), Bacterial Diseases ( 4 credits), Viral Disease (4 credits), and Laboratory Diagnosis Co-assistention (4 credits). The Microbiology section seems to have an inseparable functions and tasks from the Department of Veterinary Public Health, so in its development the two departments were merged into one Department with the name of the Department of Animal Disease and Veterinary Community Health.

Along with the development of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine UGM, and to optimizing the role of each department further, the Department was being separated again into the Department of Microbiology and the Department of Veterinary Public Health. Since then, the Department of Microbiology has managed several subjects namely General Mycology Bacteriology (3 credits), Fungal and Bacterial Disease (3 credits), Virology and Viral Diseases (4 credits), Immunology (2 credits) and Laboratory Diagnosis Co-ass. Starting in 1988 the Department of Microbiology served as coordinator for the Poultry Sciences course (3 credits) which was taught by lecturers from the Department of Microbiology, Pathology Department and the Department of Parasitology. To provide opportunities for students to obtain special skills, the Department of Microbiology offers elective courses namely Applied Microbiology (2 credits) starting in 1991 and Aquatic Microbiology (2 credits) starting in 2004.

Microbiology lecturers in addition to the subject in the S1-Regular Program, also lectures the D-3 Microbiology course (5 credits) since 1995 and lectures all courses in the Microbiology Department for the S1-Self-help (Swadaya) Program since 2002.

The Microbiology Department is managed by 6 permanent lecturers, 2 technicians, 1 administration staff and 1 laboratory assistant. Currently the Department of Microbiology has 2 practice rooms (old and new buildings) with a capacity of 50 students each practice. The Department of Microbiology also provides community services for various sample examinations (serological, molecular, isolation and identification of bacteria and certain viruses), as well as providing research facilities for researchers from both inside and outside the UGM Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.
