Soils are a vital part of our planet’s functioning, but all too often we take soils for granted. They are a complex environment which supports the most fundamental environmental processes. However, they are increasingly under threat and our soil resource is a finite one. Our Online Diploma in Soil Biology is designed to introduce participants to soils and explore the world beneath our feet. Th Level 6 Diploma in Soil Biology will provide participants with an in-depth understanding of soil biology in the context of agricultural production systems and other sectors of the economy. If you want to develop your knowledge of Soil Biology so that you can embark on a rewarding career or maybe you are already working in a related field and want to improve your career prospects, then this is the course for you. 

Start Date: You can start this course any day of the year, it is an online course,  we enrol students on a daily basis.

This level 6 course will provide a broad knowledge of the living constituent present in the soil including the group of organism present such as microorganisms, and macrofaunal. It will also discuss topics such as the characteristics, numbers and biomass, functional importance, and influence of the complex soil matrix. Participants will learn about how and why soils are under threat both at a local and global scale. This course will also emphasise on sustainable soil use and will prepare participants to handle today’s environmental issues, such as soil and water conservation, nutrient management, sustainable agriculture.
