Course Description

Our BSc Immunology with Entrepreneurship course will enable you to combine science with business skills - a key driver of employability.

Immunology is a highly dynamic field that impacts topical and emerging issues within both the biomedical and biological science disciplines.

You will learn about the components, principles and mechanisms of a healthy immune system, and how they co-ordinate to mount safe and appropriate protection against infection.

You will establish how the immune system can distinguish between self and non-self targets, how it can tune responses to protect against different types of infectious agents and how this challenge varies when these agents are encountered in different anatomical site, such as in the skin, gut and lung.

In addition to establishing the workings of a healthy immune system, the course will also address what underlies situations of inappropriate or insufficient immunity, such as allergy, autoimmunity and immune deficiency. Other topics include the current and emerging use of immune molecules in diagnostic and clinical intervention strategies, including therapeutic manipulation of the immune system for cancer treatment, vaccine development and transplant tolerance.

The entrepreneurship units will be offered via the Masood (Manchester) Enterprise Centre (MEC)of the Alliance Manchester Business School at the University, exposing you to key learning in business innovation. The course also includes a year in industry on a research or business placement.

Our course has Advanced Accreditation from the Royal Society of Biology , which recognises academic excellence in the biosciences and highlights degrees that educate the research and development leaders and innovators of the future.
