Our online Immunology Specialisation has been developed to provide central concepts in human immunology as well as advanced topics from cutting-edge research relating to clinical disease of the immune system over five designated specialisations.
The initial two courses discuss the role of the innate and adaptive immune responses serving to protect the body from harmful pathogens, which if dysregulated can also lead to immune-mediated diseases such as immunodeficiencies, autoimmunity, allergy and chronic infection, evaluated in the remaining three courses.
Applied Learning Project
Throughout the five courses within this specialisation, you will have the opportunity to undertake a series of assessments where you will apply what you have learned about different aspects of immunology to topical issues and real-world questions. These topical issues include the immune system's response to the SARS-2-CoV (COVID-19) virus, allergies and other respiratory diseases such as asthma.
