    Course Summary

    The fields of immunology and pharmacology are some of the fastest growing in medicine, in biotech and in several related industries. There was a need for a degree program to produce the skilled, specialist graduates these industries need to make the advances in treatment our society demands, so this program was created.

    The University of Aberdeen’s joint Immunology and Pharmacology BSc degree program is designed to take promising young students and give them the tools, techniques, theory and perspectives they’ll need to help create the immune treatments, processes and drugs the world already needs. You’ll gain an understanding of the immune system as well as how it can be adapted and exploited to yield novel pharmaceuticals and other treatment techniques.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
