Course Overview

The MSc Immunity, Infection and Chronic Disease at University of Leicester is a postgraduate programme designed for postgraduate students passionate about understanding society. Based in Leicester, England, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 1-year full-time structure. Among the many lessons learned from the global COVID-19 pandemic, we now recognise there was a critical shortfall of highly trained research scientists and technical experts with experience in immunology, infection and chronic disease. As the global impact of the pandemic recedes, we find ourselves facing new challenges. Instead of a single global threat, these new challenges are increasingly local and may be linked to climate change, migration or regional socio-economic conditions. A minimum ielts score of 6.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 95% student satisfaction rating, and a 85% continuation rate.
