Biomedical Sciences (Immunology), BSc (Hons)

Edward Jenner, often hailed as the 'father of immunology', revolutionized medicine through his smallpox vaccine discovery, saving countless lives. Immunology remains a dynamic and fulfilling field in biomedicine. At Brunel University, the BSc in Biomedical Sciences (Immunology) builds foundational knowledge in areas like human anatomy, biochemistry, and research skills during the first year. Subsequent years delve into the immune system's role in disease prevention and immunity deficiencies, with the flexibility to switch pathways if needed. The course is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for careers and receive associate membership upon completion. In the final year, students engage in research on cellular pathways, gene expression, DNA repair, and immune responses to infections.Key modules include Medical Immunology, Microbial Pathogenesis, Data Analysis, Biochemistry, and Structure and Function. Assessment combines coursework and written exams to evaluate knowledge, problem-solving, and data interpretation. For more details, visit the university website.
