About this programme

The Master's programme in " Medical Immunosciences and Infection " at the Medical Faculty of the University of Bonn is a two-year, research-oriented, international study programme. It aims to immerse students in the fields of translational immunology and infectious diseases and to equip them with all of the essential skills for independent scientific work and a successful research career in academia and industry . The course content focuses on the underlying molecular mechanisms of immune-mediated, inflammatory and infectious diseases and the development of new immunomodulatory approaches for their treatment. Current concepts of immunology and infectious disease research will be discussed in lectures and literature seminars and can be directly applied to individual research projects. These research projects can be performed within the highly competitive and interdisciplinary research groups at the University Hospital Bonn, associated institutes or other national or international research institutions. The Master's course of study is part of the educational and training concept of the Bonn Cluster of Excellence ImmunoSensation3, which is a collaborative endeavour between the major centres of immunological research in Bonn: the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Mathematics / Natural Sciences (Department of Life and Medical Sciences) and the DZNE (German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases). Through their association with the Cluster of Excellence ImmunoSensation3, students
