Learning outcomes

Students who graduate from Immunology will be able to:

No. Learning outcomes
1 Exhibit a broad and coherent body of knowledge of how the cells and molecules of our immune system cooperate to maintain health.
2 Exhibit an integrated knowledge of the role of the immune system in both the cause of pathology and the cure of disease.
3 Critically evaluate the application of a range of immunological techniques/skills.
4 Communicate concepts and findings in immunology and pathology across a range of modes for a variety of purposes and audiences, using evidence-based arguments that are robust to critique.
5 Apply immunological concepts and approaches to a diverse range of disease contexts and solve complex immunological and pathological problems.
6 Design, evaluate and test diagnostic pathology assays using knowledge of immunology and of industry standards in assay development and regulation.
7 Develop creative and innovative approaches to problem solving in the fields of immunology and pathology research and work effectively, responsibly and safely in individual and collaborative contexts.
8 Evaluate how therapeutic approaches that target cells and molecules of our immune and other organ systems lead to breakthroughs in human disease detection, treatment and management, and examine how these are handled from different community and cultural perspectives.
