Solutions to wicked health problems like multiple sclerosis, diabetes, tuberculosis and cancer will require an interdisciplinary approach. The study of Immunology and Pathology is underpinned by their core discipline strengths in clinical science and the underlying pathogenesis of human disease. In this unit, you will draw on these discipline strengths and apply them in an interdisciplinary context. For example, you and your team might be challenged to come up with a strategy to raise immunisation rates. Success in this endeavour will require you to continue to explore your discipline knowledge, while also meeting and collaborating with students from across the University through project-based learning; identifying and solving problems, collecting and analysing data and communicating your findings to a diverse audience. In so doing, you will have fostered the ability to work in interdisciplinary teams, which is essential for future professional and research pathways in Immunology and Pathology.
