Bachelor of Medical Science - Medical Immunology

University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney)

The Bachelor of Medical Science incorporates several scientific disciplines to explore how the human body functions and responds to disease and drug treatments. You can choose to specialise with a range of optional majors and set yourself up for a career in immunology, neuroscience, biomedical research or graduate medical or paramedical qualifications. If you're fascinated by how the human body works and want to play a role in advancing healthcare, the Bachelor of Medical Science at UNSW is a strong first step. This degree explores the science behind human biology, disease and drug treatments, combining core disciplines like physiology, pathology, pharmacology and genetics.

Across three years of full-time study, you’ll uncover how our bodies develop, defend against disease and respond to medical interventions. You’ll gain hands-on experience in cutting-edge labs and learn from leading researchers in medical science. Flexible study options allow you to tailor your medical science degree to your interests, with majors in neuroscience, microbiology, immunology and more.

This stream will be beneficial to students wishing to pursue careers in the health sciences, particularly in immunology leading to clinical medicine, biomedical research, hospital-based laboratory work and allied health. The advanced understanding of immunology, pathology and microbiology that you will acquire should provide an effective framework from which to approach cutting-edge research in the field as well as for the diagnosis and management of common immune-related clinical scenarios that you may encounter in a future clinical career.
