Combined Honours Programmes

Immunology (Major, Joint or Minor)

Campus: Stratford

Why Study Immunology as part of a Combined Honours Degree?

Immunology is the study of the mechanisms which exist within living things to protect them against invasion by infectious agents, toxins and against the development of cancers. Increasing knowledge in this field is helping to determine new strategies for the treatment and prevention of diseases and also leading to a better understanding of disorders of the immune system and how they can be controlled. The specific nature of many immune reactions has also led to wide exploitation of immune reactions in the laboratory, for instance in the field of diagnostics.

What will I study?

The programme at UEL aims to provide students with a broad overview of the field with a focus on applied aspects.
Emphasis is placed on the ways in which knowledge of immunology can be applied for the benefit of mankind e.g. in the development of vaccines and cancer therapies
There is extensive laboratory training and an option for students majoring in this subject to undertake sandwich placement training.

Which modules will I study?

You can view a full guide to the modules you have to study as part of your chosen pathway, along with a full range of option modules available by viewing the Single & Combined Honours Programmes Guide for Immunology.

Can I study a Combined Honours Programme as a Part-time degree?

All our Combined Honours Programmes can be studied on a Part-time or Full-time basis. As a Part-time student, you will study the same degree programme, but at a slower pace. You will study up to 4 modules per year (instead of 6 as a full-time student).
