Course Overview

This course focuses on how the body defends itself against disease. Immunology helps us understand viral, bacterial or parasitic infection processes and how the immune system is sometimes tricked into attacking its tissue, leading to conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes or allergy.

It will provide comprehensive postgraduate life sciences training and a broad range of practical laboratory skills. This is complemented by classes that develop your transferable skills in:

• statistics

• presentations

• career development
