Course summary

The Experimental and Translational Immunology MRes programme provides insight into state-of-the-art immunology research, current issues in immunity, immune dysfunction and immune-based therapeutic approaches. The main emphasis of the programme is a nine-month original research project (five months part-time and four months full-time) which provides an excellent preparation for a PhD and a career in research. The Experimental and Translational immunology MRes provides an opportunity for postgraduate students to benefit from the unique position of the Institute of Immunity & Transplantation (IIT). It brings together clinical and research expertise at the forefront of translational immunology. The course covers basic science through to translational clinical research and culminates in a full-time research project. There is a strong emphasis on critical analysis and data interpretation. You will develop advanced knowledge of all aspects of immunology, including immune regulation, immune deficiencies, immunology of transplantation, gene therapy, cancer immunology and immune therapeutics. Throughout the programme, our teaching is anchored in the research strengths of UCL and UCL partner hospitals. The main focus of the MRes is the original research project. You will spend 50 percent of your time between November and April and 100 percent of your time from April until August working on your project in one of our laboratories. This gives you the opportunity to carry out a substantial piece of research culminating in a written report and an oral examination. The programme is well suited to UK and overseas science graduates with relevant research experience and a strong interest in immunology. It will be of particular benefit to students contemplating undertaking a PhD and wishing to pursue a career in research.
