Summary
The information provided on this page was correct at the time of publication (November 2025). For complete and up-to-date information about this course, please visit the relevant University of Oxford course page via www.graduate.ox.ac.uk/ucas.
The MSc in Integrated Immunology explores immunology in breadth and depth and is intended for science and medical postgraduates. It is available either full-time, in-person, or part-time, online.
Immunology is an interesting, complex and dynamic subject, the applications of which have changed society. The discoveries and inventions of immunologists have led to worldwide successes in vaccination, immunotherapy, transplantation and immunodiagnostics.
The aim of this taught MSc is to provide a comprehensive education, high-quality research training and the professional skills required for a career in modern immunology. Graduates are expected to become part of the global network of immunologists within academic research, biotech and related industry, medicine or healthcare professions.
Oxford has one of the highest concentrations of research-active immunologists in the world. Students on this MSc course are therefore uniquely placed to benefit from this wealth of expertise.
Teaching is delivered across a series of linked topic themes to ensure holistic coverage of modern immunology. By the end of the course you will be able to demonstrate your understanding of how the fundamental principles of immunology integrate with the clinical aspects of immune-driven disease and with other disciplines including cell and molecular biology, genetics and microbiology.
Course structure This MSc course is not modular in structure; all elements are compulsory. The course is composed of two taught components followed by an extended research project, hosted by a University of Oxford research group.
You will be taught by leading academics in immunology throughout the two taught components of the course. You will hear from a wide range of different lecturers, drawn from the University of Oxford, the Oxford Immunology Network (OIN), Oxford University Hospitals and external institutions.
Opportunity is available throughout the course for continuing professional development activity, including in building scientific and transferrable skills.
