Course description: A lecture-based course to advance the participant’s knowledge of various aspects of
bacteriology including basic research as well as methodological and clinical aspects. Lectures (60 min)
and an essay on a topic selected by the course organizers.
Eligibility: PhD students enlisted in doctoral programs, medical students, dental students and biomedical
students. The course is also available for other interested students. The participants should have earlier
taken a basic course on bacteriology and/or have some other knowledge in bacteriology.
ECT points to be earned: 2 (two) ECT points (for graduate as well as post-graduate studies)
Registration: https://nettiopsu.utu.fi/ - PGS_1758
