This unique course provides training in the theoretical and practical aspects of modern immunology, with emphasis on therapeutic interventions for disease management and allergic reactions. It is particularly suitable for graduates in life sciences, biomedical sciences and allied subjects, as well as people who are already employed in related fields who wish to update their knowledge and gain valuable research experience. The programme continues to grow in stature and reputation, as it is repeatedly recognised for its excellence, relevance and innovation within the study of immunology. The course is assessed by a variety of methods, including: examinations delivered electronically (multiple choice, multiple response and extended matching questions); oral presentations; essays; poster preparation; and dissertation. With this knowledge, students may gain entry to a number of careers in a research or diagnostic setting. Many of our graduates continue their studies at PhD level whilst other chose to work as research assistants or enter a clinical scientist training programme.
