MA/MS in Infection and Immunity

This two-year master's programme links basic science with clinical medicine in the study of infectious disease and immune deficiencies, built around close collaboration between scientists and clinicians. Students work across immunology, virology, gastroenterology and microbiology, combining laboratory-based research with clinical and population-based studies, and learn to work effectively within and between research groups. Course topics include clinical pharmacology, the epidemiology of infectious disease, animal models and bio-safety, and the programme concludes with a thesis presented at a symposium. Career paths include academic research, work at research institutions, or roles in the pharmaceutical industry.
