    About

    Applied and Experimental Clinical Immunology (MSc)

    Full time

    Why study this course

    Designed by international experts working in the areas of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation. Studying on this full-time programme will enable you to maximise your exposure to the research expertise in the Division of Infection and Immunity and the Systems Immunity University Research Institute.

    Contribution by experts

    Biotechnology and biomedical sciences sector experts ensure that the MSc continues to meet the changing demands of the future job market.

    In-depth knowledge and understanding

    Upon completion of this MSc, you will have developed a critical awareness of current issues and developments in clinical and basic science subjects aligned with Infection, Immunity and Inflammation.

    Multi-discipline study

    You will be further characterised by your ability to study independently, and use of a range of state-of-the-art biotechniques and research methods.

    Multiple career pathways

    You will be equipped to enter a variety of types of employment or to continue academic study at a higher level.

    The programme was designed by international experts working in the areas of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation Studying on this full-time programme will enable you to maximise your exposure to the research expertise in the Division of Infection and Immunity and the Systems Immunity University Research Institute. You will benefit from their enthusiasm and commitment to lead and deliver high-quality research-led teaching activities on this MSc programme. This MSc provides comprehensive coverage of immunity research giving you a holistic view of chronic disease progression, the control of infection and the mechanisms affecting our capacity to mount an effective immune response. This will enable you to evaluate the impact of research on the life-course of the immune system in health and disease and to explore the immune system in greater depth by learning how it can be manipulated to treat cancer, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

    Biotechniques are evolving fast, and new approaches that enable the generation and analysis of vast amounts of data are being applied to address immunological problems. Immunology research is now embracing the full range of ‘omics’ including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics and metabolomics. You will examine ‘omics’ approaches and use them to resolve Infection-, Immunity- and Inflammation-based research questions by learning the computational and statistical methods used by scientists to analyse and interpret data from the assays.

    The frontier of biomedical science has rarely been as exciting and as full of opportunities as it is today. You will be taken on a journey from the fundamentals of science through clinical research to health services research that highlights the impressive advances of recent decades and emphasize the vulnerability of human health to new and re-emerging infectious diseases. The ‘arms race’ between host and pathogen poses a new threat to global health so it is important for you also to learn about the evolution of immune evasion strategies and the development of new drugs that stop pathogen replication. The pivotal role of research in improving scientific knowledge (e.g. for advising on best practices in pandemic planning) and the development of life-saving vaccines and treatments will be clear to you by the end of this MSc.

    Entry Requirements

    In order to be considered for an offer for this programme you will need to meet all of the entry requirements. Your application will not be progressed if the information and evidence listed is not provided.

    With your online application you will need to provide:

    1. A copy of your degree certificate and transcripts which show you have achieved a 2:1 honours degree in a relevant subject, or an equivalent international degree. We are able to offer a level of flexibility for applicants. Those with a 2:2 honours degree will be considered on an individual basis. If your degree certificate or result is pending, please upload any interim transcripts or provisional certificates.
    2. A copy of your IELTS certificate with an overall score of 6.5 with 6.5 in all subskills, or evidence of an accepted equivalent. Please include the date of your expected test if this qualification is pending. If you have alternative acceptable evidence, such as an undergraduate degree studied in the UK, please supply this in place of an IELTS.
    3. An up-to-date CV which includes your full academic and work history.
    4. A personal statement using the questions below as headings:
    • What attracted you to apply for this programme? (150 words)
    • Why do you think that advanced knowledge of immunology is important in medicine? (300 words)
    • How will this programme support your future career progression and/or address your training needs? (200 words)

    If you do not have a degree in a relevant area or have a 2:2 honours degree you may still apply but should provide additional evidence to support your application such as employer references and professional registration.

    Application Deadline

    We allocate places on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend you apply as early as possible. Applications normally close at the end of August but may close sooner if all places are filled.

    Selection process

    We will review your application and if you meet the entry requirements we will make you an offer.
