Description

This course provides a broad coverage of material describing the principles of immunology. There is a significant component of self-directed learning, including internet-based tutorials and assignments. The course is intended for students majoring in any area of Life Science or Medical Science interested in gaining a background in Immunology, and for those undertaking Microbiology or Medical Microbiology and Immunology majors. Topics addressed include the multiple components of the immune response and how they interact; an introduction to the concepts behind the regulation of the immune response; and introduction to the applied and clinical aspects of immunology, including allergy, transplantation and immunodeficiency. An element of choice in assessment tasks enables students to pursue in some depth an area of immunology which particularly interests them.
