Microbiology Diploma

This Diploma In Microbiology course is designed for professionals in the relevant sectors, as well as those who wish to gain new knowledge and upgrade their skills.

To succeed in microbiology, you need a strong scientific mind and the ability to solve problems and analyze with precision. The field of microbiology covers many other topics, such as bacteriology, virology, mycology, and parasitology. Medical microbiologists identify the agents of infectious diseases and devise ways to combat them.

This Microbiology course will equip you with advanced knowledge of microorganisms and teaches you everything you need to join an industry that offers a variety of career paths. On completion of this Diploma In Microbiology course, you will understand the basic nature and molecular structure of microbes and the major factor in the advancement of molecular biology as a scientific discipline and in establishing microbial genetics as an advancing science.

This Diploma In Microbiology course is designed for both part-time and full-time students, making it accessible for everyone, and is packed full of bite-sized modules so you can study at your own pace or become fully accredited in a matter of hours. If you require support, our experienced tutors are always available to help you with the comprehensive syllabus and answer all your queries through email.

Micro-organisms and their activities are vitally important to virtually all processes on Earth. Micro-organisms matter because they affect every aspect of our lives – they are in us, on us and around us.

Microbiology is the study of all living organisms that are too small to be visible with the naked eye. This includes bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, prions, protozoa, and algae, collectively known as 'microbes'. These microbes play key roles in nutrient cycling, biodegradation/biodeterioration, climate change, food spoilage, the cause and control of disease, and biotechnology. Thanks to their versatility, microbes can be put to work in many ways: making life-saving drugs, the manufacture of biofuels, cleaning up pollution, and producing/processing food and drink.

Microbiologists study microbes, and some of the most important discoveries that have underpinned modern society have resulted from the research of famous microbiologists, such as Jenner and his vaccine against smallpox, Fleming and the discovery of penicillin, Marshall and the identification of the link between Helicobacter pylori infection and stomach ulcers, and Zur Hausen, who identified the link between papillomavirus and cervical cancer.

Microbiology research has been and continues to be, central to meeting many of the current global aspirations and challenges, such as maintaining food, water, and energy security for a healthy population on habitable earth. Microbiology research will also help to answer big questions such as 'how diverse is life on Earth?', and 'does life exist elsewhere in the Universe.
