About this course
BSc/MSci in Immunology, a microbiology degree exploring the body's defense system and its role in health and disease. Core topics include Data Analysis, Statistics, and Research Methods. This programme provides an Honours degree focusing solely on immunology across the third and fourth years. The first year covers foundational concepts through Biology 1A, Chemistry 1, and Science Fundamentals-1X. The second year expands into biological sciences with Microbiology and Immunology 2, Genes, Molecules & Cells 2, and Investigating Human Biological Sciences 2. The third year delivers advanced study through Immunology 3A and Immunology 3B. The final year centers on an investigative honours project alongside core study in Fundamental Topics in Immunology 4X, with optional modules allowing specialisation in areas such as Bioinformatics and Data Analysis using R 4B, Cancer Immunopharmacology 4B, and the Immunological Basis of Inflammatory Disease 4D.
