Overview

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of immunology and explore the body's defence mechanisms against disease. From autoimmune diseases to vaccines and transplantation, this course covers the essential principles of immunology to deepen your understanding of this critical field. Join us on this journey of discovery and unlock the secrets of the immune system.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), infectious diseases account for approximately one-third of all deaths worldwide. While modern medicine has made significant advances in treating these diseases, the immune system remains our primary defence against infection. As such, a deep understanding of immunology is essential for healthcare professionals, researchers, and students alike.

  • Examine the mechanisms behind autoimmune diseases and immunodeficiency
  • Analyse the relationship between viruses and the immune system
  • Investigate the role of the immune system in tumour immunology
  • Explore the science behind vaccines and their development
  • Understand the principles and challenges of transplantation

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
