This postgraduate certificate will keep you up to date on the latest developments in Microbiology and Public Health”

In recent years, the scientific community has become increasingly concerned about the effects of pollution on human health and the direct relationship of certain toxic components with respiratory and nervous system diseases. At the same time, Microbiology has been working to respond to a global environmental problem.

Within this scenario, the Environmental Engineering professional is key, since their knowledge of microbial diversity and its importance in the biosphere can be decisive in the creation of projects that favor the treatment of waste or the conservation of the environment. Due to the increased awareness and demand of companies to find pollution solutions, this Certificate in Microbiology and Public Health was created.

During this program, which lasts only 12 weeks, the graduate will obtain the most advanced and up-to-date scientific information on biomining techniques, microbial control of pests and disease-causing populations, and the processes that cause pollution in the environment. Additionally, students are provided with innovative teaching tools, which are part of a syllabus designed with a theoretical-practical approach.

Furthermore, thanks to the case studies provided by the specialized teaching team that is part of this program, the professional will obtain information and methodologies that can be integrated into their daily practice.

The professional has before him an excellent opportunity to progress in their career in the field of Environmental Engineering through a postgraduate certificate, which can be taken comfortably, at any time and wherever they wish. Only an electronic device with Internet connection is needed to view the syllabus hosted on the virtual platform. In addition, you have the freedom to distribute the teaching load according to your needs, providing flexibility that allows you to obtain a quality education, compatible with the most demanding responsibilities.

The most advanced content on the application of microorganisms in the resolution of environmental problems is available to you 24 hours a day”

This postgraduate certificate in Microbiology and Public Health contains the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. The most important features include:

• The development of case studies presented by experts of Environmental Engineering
