Immunology (Interdepartmental)

About

Immunology looks at the structure and processes of our immune system, which protects us from external agents such as pathogenic microorganisms like bacteria and viruses. Since immunology is a key area of biomedical research and is critical to our understanding of many diseases, the Interdepartmental Honours program in Immunology provides an excellent foundation for students interested in pursuing a career in biomedical research and/or medicine.

The program involves the Departments of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology, and Physiology, and incorporates elements from each of these disciplines. You will take courses in cell and molecular biology, as well as in microbiology, immunology, biochemistry and physiology.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Accepted international credentials

Applicants are reviewed on their high school transcript with particular emphasis on yearly averages and results in prerequisite subjects (prerequisite subjects must have been completed during the last two years of high school).

Bologna-signatory countries

McGill welcomes qualified applicants from throughout Europe, including from schools in Bologna signatory countries. Applicants will be considered for admission into McGill degree programs of similar duration as those at comparable, research-intensive universities in Europe. Accordingly, qualified applicants to the faculties of Arts, Education, and Management at McGill, with a Bologna-compliant diploma that leads to a three-year undergraduate program in Europe, will be admissible to a three-year program at McGill. Students in Management will be required to complete additional mathematics coursework.

Career

Many who study immunology go on to become immunologists: research scientists or medical doctors who specialize in the immune system and study its normal and abnormal functioning, and who analyze and/or treat immune system disorders and diseases. The program also provides an excellent foundation for students interested in pursuing a career in biomedical research and/or medicine. You could become a professional:
