The aim of this programme is to provide students with a holistic understanding of the science underlying the body’s Immune System (Immunology) and how the immune system causes Inflammatory Diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Asthma, Multiple Sclerosis and Cardiovascular Disease. Many graduates from this programme pursue a career in biomedical sciences often via PhD research, satisfying the demand for qualified research personnel in inflammatory disease research.
2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent) in Biomedical Science, Immunology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Virology, and Parasitology.
We may also accept degrees in Clinical Medicine, Chemistry, Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine, and Zoology.
We may sometimes accept degrees at 2.2 Hons (or non-UK equivalent), if higher scores have been achieved in the subjects listed above, or in other relevant modules.
We may also accept applicants with significant relevant work experience and lower qualifications.
The programme provides an ideal grounding for progression to further research studies in immunology, inflammation and infectious diseases, or for a career in pharmaceutical/bioscience industries.
Our graduates have gone on to take up careers/routes in the following:
graduate research assistant, healthcare scientist, pharmaceutical industry research and development, PhD study, research technologist, scientific management, scientific publishing
