Plan Outline

This plan is for a MAJOR in Medical Microbiology and Immunology for Science and combined Science programs.

Medical Microbiology and Immunology focuses on the processes of health and disease in relation to interactions between microscopic organisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa; and the immune defense system that is present within our bodies. In addition, the study of immune processes is extremely important for advances in modern medicine in areas such as blood transfusion, organ transplantation, treatments of allergic reactions and development of vaccines, and immunity to disease. Medical Microbiology and Immunology is intertwined with the disciplines of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Genetics, which examine molecular and intercellular processes of living organisms and ways that they can be altered to benefit human health and society.

The Microbiology and Immunology Degree Program caters for a diverse array of interests by allowing students to choose from a large selection of specialised courses during stages 2 and 3
