MSc Immunology and Immunotherapeutics

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc Full-time: 12 months

Masters Degree Description

Do you want to be at the forefront of research-based teaching and development in immunology and immunotherapeutics? What about advancing new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for fighting disease? The course is a research-informed programme taught by academics who are research-active and experts in their field.

In the first semester, you will have an overview of the mechanisms and concepts of immunology to ensure that you have a sound immunology background for further modules. You will study core transferable research skills and molecular techniques and receive advanced teaching in the mechanisms of recent developments in the molecular basis of allergic inflammation and autoimmune processes.

In the second semester, you will learn about the mechanisms and concepts underpinning innate immune recognition and the development of novel therapeutic strategies. You will gain experience in the application of tools of computational analysis using medically related research database interrogation with bioinformatics.
