理学学士（荣誉）免疫学和药理学

该联合荣誉学位课程将免疫学与药理学相结合。免疫学是对免疫系统以及人体如何防御疾病的研究。它可以帮助我们了解免疫系统是如何被诱骗攻击其自身组织的，从而导致类风湿关节炎，糖尿病或过敏等疾病。它在输血，疫苗接种，器官移植以及变态反应治疗以及风湿性关节炎和癌症等自身免疫性疾病等领域极大地帮助了现代医学。它还为细胞生物学，生物化学，微生物学和药理学做出了重要贡献，并开始大举进入食品工业，农业和兽医学领域。药理学是研究药物和其他化学物质如何影响人体健康和疾病的研究。它还探讨了新药和改良药的开发以及疾病的治疗。选择特定
Study with usimmunology is the study of the immune system and how the body defends itself against diseasepharmacology is the study of how drugs and other chemicals affect the body in health and diseaseopportunity to choose specific degree combinations will allow you to go into specialist biomedical science areas such as neuroscience, cardiovascular research, immunopharmacology, industrial immunology, drug research, biochemistry, microbiology and bacteriologyWhy this courseImmunology helps us understand how the immune system is tricked into attacking its own tissue, leading to diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes or allergy. It's significantly helped modern medicine in areas such as blood transfusion, vaccination, organ transplantation along with the treatment of allergy, and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and cancer.It's also made vital contributions to cell biology, biochemistry, microbiology and pharmacology, and is starting to make major inroads into the food industry, agriculture and veterinary science.Pharmacology is the study of how drugs and other chemicals affect the body in health and disease. It also explores the development of new and improved medicines and the treatment of disease.AssessmentKnowledge and understanding are assessed by written examinations, essays, presentations and computer-aided learning (CAL) exercises and quizzes, available on our virtual learning environment, Myplace.Competence is assessed through practical tests, practical write-ups, project reports and CAL exercises and quizzes.Communication skills are assessed through essays and oral presentations.Project work is assessed from project reports and oral presentations.There’s an individual research project in the final year of the course where you’ll demonstrate research skills, problem-solving and a research approach.CareersYou could be involved in the development of drugs, food processing, protecting the environment, fighting disease or even slowing down the ageing process.Our graduates find jobs in the pharmaceutical, biotech and agrochemical industries, hospitals and public service laboratories, environmental centres, analytical and forensic science labs, universities, the scientific civil service and teaching at all levels.Many students also continue on to postgraduate studies and research.The transferable skills you gain from this course will not only prepare you for a career in science but also in areas such as finance, management, marketing, sales, business and media.
