Course summary
Overview
We have now seen the devastating effect that a global pandemic can have on our modern world. This course can help you develop the skills and knowledge needed to tackle this issue professionally.
Why choose Biomedical Science (Infection and Immunity) MSc at Middlesex?
Following the global pandemic, there has never been a greater need for scientists who understand the transmission, aetiology and control of infectious organisms such as viruses, and how the immune system responds.
Our degree is unique. It combines Biomedical Science with Infection and Immunity which is not offered anywhere else in London. If you have a Biomedical Science background this is a great opportunity to develop your understanding of the complex interplay between infection and immunity.
This master's course equips you with the skills necessary to work in the NHS or in the pharmaceutical industries, for example in the development of vaccines. You'll be better enabled to compete for positions in academic research in the areas of infection and immunity, an area of research that is currently being expanded in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
What you will gain
Many of your guest lecturers work in the NHS, industry and research organisations, so you will always be learning about the latest insights and have the opportunity to connect with potential employers.
For example, you will be taught by experts working in the area of infection control, such as for the UKHSA - National Infection Service as well as Infection Control Services, University College London Hospital. You will also be taught by a parasitologist from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
You will have opportunities to:
•undertake a research project combining both infection and immunity, which will be supervised by experts in the field
•form links with institutions outside of Middlesex University
•acquire expertise in a range of advanced analytical and technical skills that will equip you to pursue a range of career options that require specialist technical knowledge.
During your research project, you will gain experience in techniques such as flow cytometry, cell culture, ELISAs and isolation and culture of microorganisms.
