At Nottingham, one will expand their knowledge on the contribution of immunological mechanisms to various disease processes and will be taught skills to critically evaluate published scientific papers and report and interpret results.
The school offers a variety of teaching styles, including lectures, tutorials, and practical classes, with excellent research facilities to support training in topics such as qPCR and imaging, flow cytometry, biochemistry, genomics, tissue culture, microbiology, molecular genetics techniques, biofilm interface with biotic and abiotic surfaces, and microscopy suites.
Assessment of learning will be done through examinations, presentations, and dissertations. A personal tutor will be assigned at the start of the course to provide guidance and support throughout the year.
This course may appeal to graduates in life sciences, biomedical sciences, and related fields, as well as individuals already working in related areas seeking research experience and updated knowledge in immunology and immunotherapeutic technologies.
