MA/MS in Microbiological Sciences and Immunology

This Harvard Medical School degree, the M.M.Sc. in immunology, builds a structured base across basic and clinical immunology. Its intake includes students with a biology background who seek medicine or fundamental research, along with practicing physicians who want deeper expertise in the field. Teaching combines instruction with research, so students connect immunological concepts with questions from clinical medicine. The curriculum is designed to give learners a working understanding of how the immune system relates to disease. Students also see how immune responses shape the course of illness. Faculty and students share laboratory and classroom experiences, which makes the program collaborative. Applicants should review the Medical School admissions pages for requirements, deadlines and tuition. Those details are not listed on the overview and should be confirmed directly with the school before applying.
