Often credited as the ‘father of immunology Edward Jenner is said to have saved more lives than any other human being through his discovery of the smallpox vaccine. Modern study of immunology is an exciting and fast moving area of biomedicine and remains an extremely rewarding one to be part of. At Brunel, we understand that your specialist knowledge should be built on a sound grounding of all the areas of biomedical sciences. This means that your first year will cover areas such as the human body, biochemistry and research skills. As you continue through your degree, you'll study specialist areas that will give you a greater understanding of the role of the immune system. Youll learn about how the human defence system helps to prevent disease and youll focus on how this can fail through deficiencies in immunity. And if you change your mind about your specialist area, dont worry. The flexibility of our course at Brunel means that you can switch to another specialist pathway in the second year or even take the general Biomedical Sciences BSc.Careers and your futureAs a graduate in Biomedical Sciences (Immunology) youll have the skills to work in research and in clinical specialities in areas such as autoimmune disorders or antibody deficiencies. You may choose to work in a hospital laboratory, an academic research setting or in industrial research.Whatever your future goals are, this course is focused on helping you achieve your career ambitions. The employability teaching blocks at Brunel provide a personalised approach to developing your skills. Youll work on improving your CV and your interview techniques, as well as attending careers events and carrying out research projects with academics. Each year, we hold a Biomedical Sciences Careers Fair where youll have the opportunity to network with some of the biggest names in the business such as GlaxoSmithKline, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Parexel, Age UK and Royal Brompton Hospital NHS Foundation.
