About this programme

The international Master's programme “Integrated Immunology” (iImmune) was jointly initiated by the Faculty of Natural Sciences (Department of Biology) and the Faculty of Medicine at the Friedrich-Alexander University (FAU) of Erlangen-Nürnberg and is generously supported by the Elite Network of Bavaria. A central task of the Master's programme is to integrate basic and clinical immunology training in a research-oriented way. The FAU has a very strong research focus on immunology research, both in medicine and biology, which is reflected in the many collaborative research centres and PhD graduate schools that deal with this topic. The ageing society deals more and more with the implications of infectious diseases, as well as with chronic autoimmune diseases or allergic diseases. This inter-disciplinary Master's programme ideally prepares students for research positions both in basic as well as in clinical immunology to tackle these types of disease. The integration of clinical modules allows a bench to bedside approach, even to Master's students with a biology background. Additionally, the programme is also open to medical students. Aims of the International Master's programme Integrated Immunology Provide a comprehensive education in the field of immunology at the interface between biology and medicine Train international students with very good supervision, including small group teaching and modern teaching concepts such as problem-based learning Provide a research-oriented
