  Course description
  
  The Diploma in Bacteriology (DipBact) was first established in the 1920s by Professor W W C Topley, and has played a major role in the training of medical microbiologists from many countries around the world. It is designed to enable microbiologists who do not wish to complete a full Masters Programme to obtain a postgraduate microbiology qualification. The aim of the programme is to provide you with a systematic understanding of the scientific basis of traditional and novel microbiological concepts, and with the knowledge, specialist practical skills and critical awareness to enable you to pursue careers in the microbiological field, whether in the hospital, laboratory, industrial or research setting. The DipBact is recognised as suitable training for the MRC Path.
