The Immunology and Cell Pathology course is extremely popular. Each year up to 20 medical students are selected not only from UCL but also from other London medical schools. Science Courses BSc in Immunology Students can choose to do a BSc course in Immunology. In the first year these students take core Life Science courses in basic biology, chemistry and physiology. In the third year, students follow the same basic immunology and project programme as the intercalated students, as outlined above.
Some students also do a library project.
More details about these courses can be found as a summary of Immunology courses or as a more detailed list of Immunology Courses. Immunology in the other Life Science Faculty courses Many of the second and third year course outlined above are also taken by students from other departments within the Faculty of Life Sciences. In addition, the Department offers a special three week intensive third year course entitled Immunobiology. This is specially designed for students not taking the main departmental courses, but who would like to cover the whole scope of immunology, ranging from molecules up to integrative studies of immune system function in whole organisms and populations. The course also includes a substantial practical component.
