The MRes programme provides insight into state-of-the-art immunology research, current issues in immunity, immune dysfunction and immune-based therapeutic approaches. The main emphasis of the programme is a nine-month original research project (five months part-time and four months full-time) which provides an excellent preparation for a PhD and a career in research. The MRes Experimental and Translational immunology provides an opportunity for postgraduate students to benefit from the unique position of the Institute of Immunity & Transplantation (IIT). It brings together clinical and research expertise at the forefront of translational immunology. The course covers basic science through to translational clinical research and culminates in a full-time research project. There is a strong emphasis on critical analysis and data interpretation. You will develop advanced knowledge of all aspects of immunology, including immune regulation, immune deficiencies, immunology of transplantation, gene therapy, cancer immunology and immune therapeutics. Throughout the programme, our teaching is anchored in the research strengths of UCL and UCL partner hospitals.
