MSc in Integrated Immunology
About the course
The MSc in Integrated Immunology explores immunology in breadth and depth and is intended for science and medical postgraduates. It is available either full-time, in-person, or part-time, online.
Immunology is an interesting, complex and dynamic subject, the applications of which have changed society. The discoveries and inventions of immunologists have led to worldwide successes in vaccination, immunotherapy, transplantation and immunodiagnostics.
The aim of this taught MSc is to provide a comprehensive education, high-quality research training and the professional skills required for a career in modern immunology. Graduates are expected to become part of the global network of immunologists within academic research, biotech and related industry, medicine or healthcare professions.
Oxford has one of the highest concentrations of research-active immunologists in the world. Students on this MSc course are therefore uniquely placed to benefit from this wealth of expertise.
Teaching is delivered across a series of linked topic themes to ensure holistic coverage of modern immunology. By the end of the course you will be able to demonstrate your understanding of how the fundamental principles of immunology integrate with the clinical aspects of immune-driven disease and with other disciplines including cell and molecular biology, genetics and microbiology.
Course structure
An overview of the course structure is provided below. Details of the compulsory elements of the course are provided in the Course components section of this page.
This MSc course is not modular in structure; all elements are compulsory. The course is composed of two taught components followed by an extended research project, hosted by a University of Oxford research group.
You will be taught by leading academics in immunology throughout the two taught components of the course. You will hear from a wide range of different lecturers, drawn from the University of Oxford, the Oxford Immunology Network (OIN), Oxford University Hospitals and external institutions.
Opportunity is available throughout the course for continuing professional development activity, including in building scientific and transferrable skills.
Full-time study
The full-time course is delivered in Oxford over the three terms of the Oxford academic year (Michaelmas, Hilary and Trinity) and part of the Long Vacation (the period between the end of the Trinity term and the beginning of Michaelmas term each year).
Taught components are delivered in Michaelmas and Hilary terms. Each of these two 11-week taught terms consist of nine weeks of classroom-based teaching, one week for revision and one week for examination.
An average teaching week comprises approximately seven lectures, each lecture being 60 to 90 minutes in duration. In addition, throughout the term there are workshops, small-group discussion and problem-based learning sessions, which may be led by tutors, or by students.
Continuing professional development (CPD) is supported by training in presentation and IT skills, statistics, ethics, scientific methodologies, careers and special seminars. CPD sessions take place during both taught terms.
In Trinity term and part of the Long Vacation you will undertake an original, supervised research project to gain a working understanding of research techniques in immunology or a related area. Research supervisors provide regular support and guidance during the course of the research project, and you will normally be expected to work on your project during core working hours during the week, or as agreed with your supervisor.
For the duration of the course, as a full-time student, you will be expected to treat your studies as a full-time occupation of at least 40-hours per week.
Part-time study
The part-time course is aimed at those who wish to study the exciting subject of immunology at a world-class institution, but who are not able to relocate to Oxford to study full-time and in-person. This is an intensive course where you will cover graduate level fundamental and applied immunology over the course of a year, ahead of transitioning into your research project. The MSc is not a beginners' course in immune function and requires a high and sustained level of academic engagement. You will need to devote a minimum of 15 hours per week to the course and need to be certain that you can factor this into your professional and personal life. The part-time, online course is two years in duration and is designed to support you with flexible part-time study.
As a part-time student, you will be taught online, with a one-week residential held in Oxford, typically in September.
Written, recorded and interactive materials are accessible asynchronously, allowing you to study at a time that suits you.
During the first year of the course, you will work through the course's bespoke online programme via Oxford’s Virtual Learning Environment, Canvas. This is structured in a way that encourages you to work through the materials week-by-week, allowing you to maintain the best pace for studying what is an increasingly complex and dynamic subject.
The taught topic themes each last between two and four weeks. In an average teaching week, students usually watch three to four pre-recorded lectures and complete related reading and asynchronous interactive activities. Each topic theme includes one or two synchronous ‘live’ online small group discussions, collaborative activities or problem-based learning sessions, which are led by tutors or students.
These sessions will typically take place at fortnightly intervals during the taught components of the course. Pre-recorded lectures are given by speakers drawn from the University of Oxford, the Oxford Immunology Network (OIN), Oxford University Hospitals and external institutions. Self-directed study is required alongside structured teaching.
A one-week residential for part-time students is held in Oxford after the end of the taught components, typically in September. This will include special seminars and other academic activities, social events, opportunities for professional networking and time to explore your college and the wonderful city of Oxford.
In the second year you will undertake an original, supervised, desk-based, remote research project (Unit 3) to gain a working understanding of research techniques in immunology or a related area. Research supervisors provide support and guidance during the course of the project, and students are normally expected to work on their projects part-time during the week, or as agreed with their supervisor. You will work with staff affiliated to a top-ranked research department or institute across the Medical Sciences Division.
Attendance
The course can be studied full-time or part-time.
The full-time course is completed in one year in Oxford and full-time students are subject to the University's Residence requirements.
The part-time course is completed over two years and is delivered online with a one-week residential component in Oxford after Unit 2, typically in September.
Resources to support your study
As a graduate student, you will have access to the University's wide range of resources including libraries, museums, galleries, digital resources and IT services.
The Bodleian Libraries is the largest library system in the UK. It includes the main Bodleian Library and libraries across Oxford, including major research libraries and faculty, department and institute libraries. Together, the Libraries hold more than 13 million printed items, provide access to e-journals, and contain outstanding special collections including rare books and manuscripts, classical papyri, maps, music, art and printed ephemera.
The University's IT Services is available to all students to support with core university IT systems and tools, as well as many other services and facilities. IT Services also offers a range of IT learning courses for students to support with learning and research, as well as guidance on what technology to bring with you as a new student at Oxford.
As part of the Bodleian Libraries, you will have access to the Bodleian Health Care Libraries, and access to further reading materials recommended by lecturers will be available either online or in print.
All resources, including lecture presentations and recommended further reading as well as material for problem-based learning sessions and/or small-group discussion classes, are made available through Canvas, the virtual learning environment for which you will receive training at the beginning of the course.
During your research projects, you will become a member of the hosting research group and you will be given appropriate access to its facilities and resources. The Course Team will also maintain contact with you and your peers during this time.
Supervision
The allocation of graduate supervision for this course is the responsibility of the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences. It is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff. Under exceptional circumstances a supervisor may be found outside the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences.
The Course Director will typically be your primary supervisor throughout the course. They have close contact with the class for the duration of the course. For informal meetings, they hold fortnightly office hours online for part-time students and are readily available in Oxford for full-time students during termtime. You will meet with them formally for a one-to-one discussion of your progress twice per term or equivalent.
During the research projects, day-to-day supervision is devolved to the project supervisor. You will also meet the Course Director to discuss your progress as above.
Assessment
By the end of the course students should be able to clearly demonstrate their understanding of how the fundamental principles of immunology integrate with the clinical aspects of immune-driven disease. Successful graduates should also be able to respond to complex questions and challenges in immunology using their comprehensive understanding of the field and their analytical and research skills. To evidence this, students undertake a range of assessments across the course.
At the end of each taught component, you will take a computer-based examination to test core knowledge. Further elements of the overall assessment are a critical essay in fundamental immunology during the first taught component, a set of clinical case commentaries during the second taught component, followed by a research dissertation and a final viva voce examination to assess your research project.
Part-time students who successfully complete the first and second taught component (Units 1 and 2) by passing the first four assessments can choose to exit the course at this point with a Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in Integrated Immunology.
Detailed assessment instructions and marking criteria will be provided at the beginning of each component of study. The course also includes formative assessment and feedback opportunities, designed to prepare you for the main assessments and to develop your academic and professional skills.
Graduate destinations
The full-time MSc in Integrated Immunology has run continuously since 2004. Over those years, about half of alumni from the MSc have progressed to graduate research degrees, with a number of those taking up DPhil positions in Oxford.
Approximately a third of alumni from the MSc have continued to medical school, including Oxford, or progressed to higher specialist medical training. Others have taken up positions in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology or corporate sectors as senior scientists, policy advisors, analysts and managers.
The part-time version of the MSc began accepting students in 2024, but the department anticipates that students on the part-time course will follow similar career paths to become part of the global network of immunologists.

Additional costs
Full-time study
There are no compulsory elements of this course that entail additional costs beyond fees and living costs. However, as part of your course requirements, you may need to choose a dissertation, a project or a thesis topic. Please note that, depending on your choice of topic and the research required to complete it, you may incur additional expenses, such as travel expenses, research expenses, and field trips. You will need to meet these additional costs, although you may be able to apply for small grants from your department to help you cover some of these expenses.
Part-time study
All students on this course will need access to a computer, webcam, microphone and a reliable broadband internet connection (compulsory). The recommended bandwidth for the software used is 1Mbps. This is estimated to cost approximately £1,000. Departmental bursaries may be available for this. There will be a one-week residential component in Oxford towards the end of the first year of study. Travel and subsistence for this visit is estimated to be £1000 for overseas candidates and £600 for home students, and the course will underwrite these expenses at these rates. There are no academic penalties for non-attendance.
Living costs
In addition to your course fees and any additional course-specific costs, you will need to ensure that you have adequate funds to support your living costs for the duration of your course.
Living costs for full-time study
For the 2026-27 academic year, the range of likely living costs for a single, full-time student is between £1,405 and £2,105 for each month spent in Oxford. We provide the cost per month so you can multiply up by the number of months you expect to live in Oxford. Depending on your circumstances, you may also need to budget for the costs of a student visa and immigration health surcharge and/or living costs for family members or other dependants that you plan to bring with you to Oxford (if dependant visa eligibility criteria are met).
Living costs for part-time study
Your living costs may vary depending on your personal circumstances but you will still need to cover your cost of living on a full-time basis for the duration of your course, even if you will not be based in Oxford throughout your studies. While the range of likely living costs for a single, full-time student living in Oxford in the 2026-27 academic year is between £1,405 and £2,105 per month, living costs outside Oxford may be different.
Part-time students who are not based in Oxford will need to calculate travel and accommodation costs carefully. Depending on your circumstances and study plans, this may include the cost of a visitor visa to attend for short blocks of time (if visitor visa eligibility criteria are met).
Further information about living costs
The current economic climate and periods of high national inflation in recent years make it harder to estimate potential changes to the cost of living over the next few years. For study in Oxford beyond the 2026-27 academic year, it is suggested that you budget for potential increases in living expenses of around 4% each year – although this rate may vary depending on the national economic situation.
A breakdown of likely living costs for one month during the 2026-27 academic year are shown below. These costs are based on a single, full-time graduate student, with no dependants, living in Oxford.
| Lower range | Upper range | |
|---|---|---|
| Food | £315 | £545 |
| Accommodation | £825 | £990 |
| Personal items | £160 | £310 |
| Social activities | £50 | £130 |
| Study costs | £35 | £90 |
| Other | £20 | £40 |
| Total | £1,405 | £2,105 |
