What is the qualification of a virologist?
You need to have Biology, Chemistry, and Physics in your high school (10+2) level.
At the undergraduate level, you could study Microbiology (along with Physics and Chemistry as Pass papers). Alternatively, you could also pursue MBBS, Biomedical Sciences, or Biotechnology at the Bachelors’s level.
Do you need a Ph.D. to be a virologist?
Most virologists have not only a bachelor’s degree, but a doctorate as well.
Students who wish to become virologists should also plan to complete postdoctoral research training as well as become licensed medical doctors to work in this field.
How many years does it take to be a virologist?
A clinical virologist follows the traditional medical school path for four years after completing undergraduate studies. As a scientific virologist, you’ll typically join a Ph. D program for four to six years, combining coursework, lab rotations, and research.
Is virology a hard class?
If you do I would say that Immunology is the most difficult because of the amount of information, Virology is the second most difficult.
it used to be a 6 unit course but then they made it two courses over two quarters so it is not as condensed but still difficult (not as difficult as Immunology though).
