About the course

Immunology is the study of the immune system and its defence mechanisms against harmful pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. This field is of immense value to human health, as it provides the basis of why vaccination against deadly diseases works, and also plays a vital role in treating disorders such as allergy, autoimmunity, cancer and transplant rejection.

　　The study of Immunology at Monash involves both theory and practical class experiences, and lessons are delivered by active researchers or teachers with a deep understanding of the immune system. Upon completion of your studies, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to make significant contributions to this important field

　　This major provides a solid grounding in the key aspects of the immune system and its role in health and disease.

　　You will learn the principal features associated with the structure, development and function of the immune system through a combination of theory- and practice-based work. You will also develop your understanding of the physical, cellular and molecular processes associated with the development of pathologies, including inflammatory, immunological, haematological and neoplastic disorders. Throughout your studies, the role of science and the scientific process in identifying the key questions and challenges associated with immunology will be emphasised.
