Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Immunology
Program Overview
Our BSc Hons Immunology degree is suitable for those who want to specialise in a single biomedical science. It’s particularly relevant if you want to pursue a research career.
The immune system protects us from infection through various lines of defence. If the immune system is not functioning as it should, it can result in disease, such as autoimmunity, allergy and cancer. It is also now becoming clear that immune responses contribute to the development of many common disorders not traditionally viewed as immunologic, including metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s.
From Edward Jenner’s pioneering work in the 18th Century that ultimately lead to vaccination in its modern form (an innovation that has likely saved more lives than any other medical advance), to the many scientific breakthroughs in the 19th and 20th centuries that developed safe organ transplantation, identification of blood groups, and the use of monoclonal antibodies throughout science and healthcare, immunology has changed the face of modern medicine.
Immunological research continues to extend horizons in our understanding of how to treat significant health issues, with ongoing research efforts in immunotherapy, autoimmune diseases, allergies, cancer treatments and vaccines for emerging pathogens, such as Ebola. Advancing our understanding of basic immunology is essential for clinical and commercial application and has facilitated the discovery of new diagnostics and treatments to manage a wide array of diseases.
