Course summary

MSc Infection and Immunity provides an advanced understanding of the interactions between bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens and their hosts.

Course overview

Infectious diseases are a key aspect of world health that often get overlooked. However, with the rise in incidence of antibiotic resistance and the increasing threat of emerging pathogens, infectious diseases are now taking their place at the forefront of public health. On this course you will explore the ability of microorganisms to cause disease even in the presence of our complex immune systems. As well as pathogenic mechanisms, you will also focus on current practices and cutting-edge developments in medical interventions to combat, control, and ultimately cure, infectious disease.

Assessment

You will be assessed via coursework assignments, which may include literature reviews, laboratory reports, case studies, posters, or oral presentations.

Job prospects

The course provides academic training for biomedical scientists, doctors, or healthcare professionals in the field of infection and immunity.

If biomedical or clinical research is your interest, on successful completion of the MSc you may wish to continue with your education by studying for a PhD. Alternatively, you could study for medicine, physician associate studies or a PGCE.
