Go for what your heart desires. I suggest you meet a carrier consultant, but in my humble opinion you can go for an undergraduate degree in biochemistry and then Master in Microbiology. Job prospects depend on you. giftforlife9: |

hod898: am in my ond reading slt, can i switch to industrial chemisty through direct entry? |

Microbiplogy is better. You have a lot of options after graduation, food microbiology is one very applicable branch of mcb at least in Naija. In mcb you work with things that you can see and touch. Studying Bch in Naija is simply wack, it is simply a "CRAMMING TRAINING", and it is like that in almost all schools. It is so stressful and it is not worth the wahala. In Nigeria, a microbiologist can do everything that a biochemist can do; but a biochemist cannot do all a microbiologist can do. I am a Biochemist. 5 Likes 1 Share |

2fine2fast: i love microbiology also, but i heard most of them end up been a teacher, and i dont like teaching. |

giftforlife9:...Both are good.But going with what you said about job prospects and money in your pocket in Nigeria, then I would advice microbiology because it gives you a wide area of job prospect from food industries, medical, agriculture, environmental, research institute, government etc.... Biochemistry also has applications in these fields but Nigeria has not yet gotten to the stage of applying most of the outcome of biochemistry.....all you will do I cram, cram, and cram pathways. 2 Likes |

bright007: yeah if microbiology has more job to offer than biochemistry, are the salary lucrative? Thanks for your response |
Re: Biochemistry And Microbiology by Nobody: 11:31am On Oct 12, 2014 |
hod898: science laboratory technology |
Re: Biochemistry And Microbiology by Nobody: 11:32am On Oct 12, 2014 |
hod898: if i finish my OND, can go for industrial chemistry in university through direct entry? Thanks |
Re: Biochemistry And Microbiology by bright007(f): 12:47pm On Oct 12, 2014 |
giftforlife9: it depends on the industry where you find your self as well as how big is the firm. and mind you.......getting lucrative salary in microbiology or biochemistry is not with your BSc. but from masters upward. |
Re: Biochemistry And Microbiology by Nnewi1stSon: 1:30pm On Oct 12, 2014 |
bright007:In MCB for instance what branch would you advise someone to specialise, I was told Medical MCB is the "inn thing" do you assent to that? and have you an idea how long a masters in the field could take? takes a bunch |

Still need more answers |
Re: Biochemistry And Microbiology by nwapastor: 3:30pm On Oct 15, 2014 |
Nnewi1stSon:Chemistry is better than MCB and BCH while MCB is better than BCH but you can go for BCH if you really wanted medicine but couldn't get it. As for the branch of MCB to go for in M.Sc, it depends on the one you were better at during your undergraduate days. The length of M.Sc depends on your school, but then if you really want to go for M.Sc the best bet is to start, the earlier you start, the earlier you finish. Any more doubt? |

^^^ You'll have to go for internship in medical lab (NISLT) or M.Sc Medical Microbiology to be certified/qualify for a job as a medical microbiologist. Your B.Sc Microbiology does not really qualify you for that. |
Re: Biochemistry And Microbiology by Nobody: 8:06pm On Oct 21, 2014 |
TheSonOfMark: thanks alot, but can you throw more light please |
Re: Biochemistry And Microbiology by TheSonOfMark(m): 10:30pm On Oct 21, 2014 |
nwapastor: Yeah, I know. Like I stated earlier, I'm doing my project topic is related to it. Even at that it doesn't stop one from working as med. microbiologist. 1 Like |
Re: Biochemistry And Microbiology by nwapastor: 4:05am On Oct 22, 2014 |
TheSonOfMark:It does, at B.Sc level u r just a Microbiologist @ most. You have not specialized in any area but you can be a lab assistant/technologist though. |

2fine2fast: yeah micro biologist have a lot of job prospect with less income, but biochemistry is very richer than microbiology |
