Virology and Immunology (MSci)

Our MSci course is ideal if you want to continue in research or to stand out when applying for a PhD or employment. Years one and two provide a broad background in biomedical sciences as well as information about viruses and the diseases they cause. You will study the immune system and how it controls infection. You will also learn about autoimmune diseases that can occur if the immune system attacks the body's own tissues rather than an infectious agent. You will progress to review the main viral diseases of humankind in terms of their natural history, biology, molecular biology, immunology, pathogenesis and epidemiology. These include HIV, hepatitis B and C, papilloma, influenza and measles, among others. You will learn about cutting-edge issues in virology and immunology, including zoonotic viruses of bats, Ebola, Hendra, Nipah, MERS, and emerging viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 that cause COVID-19. The additional fourth year includes an extended research project and research skills training with an emphasis on enterprise. You will plan projects, communicate with a variety of audiences, and learn to translate and commercialise research. We accept a wide variety of qualifications and welcome applications from students of all backgrounds. Below is a guide to the typical offers for this course.
