The course will explore key components of the immune system, how it defends the body against infectious diseases, and what happens when the immune system becomes dysregulated or suppressed.

The course is expert-designed by immunologists and delivered by the British Society for Immunology. Taking place online (and with an accompanying online learning platform), this one-day online course aims to provide a concise, cohesive learning journey, with lectures and interactive activities, allowing learners to engage with expert speakers and consolidate their learning in real-time. The course is delivered by professional immunologists who not only possess deep scientific knowledge, but also excel at communicating it clearly and effectively.

 Aimed towards a broad audience, including scientists from non-immunology disciplines, healthcare and industry scientists, nurses, clinicians and students, this course will introduce core immunology concepts. Although no knowledge of immunology is required for attendees, this course is best suited to those who can digest higher education-level scientific information.   

Upon course completion, learners will receive a certificate from the British Society for Immunology. For one year after the course date, learners will be able to revisit course content via our online learning platform. The platform will also contain additional resources to help deepen understanding of the topics covered.
