Overview

Key facts

The Immunology programme of the University of Glasgow is one of the few programmes in the UK which offer an Honours degree focusing solely on immunology for two years (years 3 and 4).
Immunology can be taken as an MSci degree, which includes an additional placement year between the third and final years of the degree, normally spent undertaking research in industry in the UK or overseas.
Career Prospects
Many graduates continue to postgraduate Masters or PhD studies, or enter medicine, dentistry or veterinary medicine. Research-based career destinations include universities and research institutes and industry, and clinical research and diagnostic work in hospital laboratories. Many go on to a career in other fields of science, such as infection biology, and cancer or cardiovascular research, or areas such as teaching, scientific journalism, business and the Civil Service.
