Biological Sciences (Immunology), BSc (Hons)

Immunology is a dynamic field driving advancements in science and medicine, focusing on how organisms respond to infectious agents like viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, as well as to tumors and organ transplantation. It plays a crucial role in treating disorders such as allergies, autoimmune diseases, and immune deficiencies, while informing strategies for infectious disease resistance, transplantation, and vaccine development. Mastery of immunology supports careers in medical and infectious disease contexts, fostering innovations in therapies and biotechnology.Biological Sciences encompasses the study of living organisms, from environmental interactions to gene expression, with 12 subject areas including immunology. Students can initially explore various programs before specializing, gaining skills in data analysis, programming, problem-solving, communication, and independent thinking to prepare for diverse scientific applications.
