On successful completion of a major in Immunology and Pathology, students will be able to:

 Learning outcome
1Exhibit a broad and coherent body of knowledge of how the cells and molecules of our immune system cooperate to maintain health
2Exhibit an integrated knowledge of the role of the immune system in both the cause of pathology and the cure of disease
3Exhibit a broad understanding of the cellular and molecular bases of pathogenesis of a diverse range of diseases and the pathophysiological responses to disease
4Critically evaluate the application of a range of immunological and pathological techniques/skills
5Observe and describe pathophysiological responses of relevant organs to disease and explain their effect on organ function
6Communicate 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
7Apply immunological concepts and approaches to a diverse range of disease contexts and solve complex immunological and pathological problems
8Design, evaluate and test diagnostic pathology assays using knowledge of immunology and of industry standards in assay development and regulation
9Develop 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
10Evaluate 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
11Work effectively with colleagues from different areas of specialisation to address interdisciplinary problems in immunology and pathology
