MSc in Integrated Immunology (Part-time)

Immunology is an interesting, complex and dynamic subject, the applications of which have changed society.  The discoveries and inventions of immunologists have led to worldwide successes in vaccination, immunotherapy, transplantation and immunodiagnostics. Students on this course study the fundamental, applied and clinical aspects of immunology in depth and breadth.   

Our part-time online course is aimed at bioscience or medical graduates who wish to study the exciting subject of immunology at a world-class institution, but who are not able to relocate to Oxford to study full-time in-person.  We particularly welcome exceptional candidates from underprivileged, challenging or unconventional backgrounds, those residing in low- and middle-income countries, and those with caring or professional responsibilities.  Students will study on a paced, guided course but at a time that suits them best.     

The specific aims of the course are:

To provide for students:
