Overview
The University of Oxford is a world leader in Immunology. This means that you will be taught by leading academics in immunology throughout the first two terms of the MSc, and that you will undertake your third term project in a top-ranked research department.
The Integrated Immunology at the University of Oxford course provides comprehensive and in-depth training in immunology for science and medical postgraduates.
Supervision
The allocation of graduate supervision for this course is the responsibility of the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences and it is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff. Under exceptional circumstances a supervisor may be found outside the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences.
Graduate destinations
. Over those years, about half of alumni from the MSc have gone on to graduate research degrees, with a number of those taking up DPhil positions in Oxford.
Over a third of alumni from the MSc have continued to medical school, including Oxford, or progressed to higher specialist medical training. A small number have also taken up positions in the pharmaceutical sector.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- The MSc course is not modular, ie all teaching elements are compulsory for all students and there are no options for students to choose.
- Continuing professional development classes, including presentation and IT skills, statistics, ethics and clinical trial methodologies, take place throughout both taught terms.
- In the third term you will undertake an original, supervised research project to gain an understanding of research techniques in immunology or a related area. Research supervisors provide regular supervision and guidance during the course of the research project.
- At the end of each taught term, you will take a computer-based examination to test core knowledge.
