The Department of Biology of the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Crete is pleased to announce the launch of a new Master of Science (MSc) Programme in “Immunobiology”.

Infection Biology is a growing field within biology that combines immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, and cell biology. Research and education within this field are important in order to better understand and control various types of infectious diseases in the future.

This programme represents an innovative development in higher degree options in the biological sciences. It is targeted at biological and health science graduates who are interested in the major challenges in health and development today and who wish to broaden their understanding of immunology.

Immunology is the branch of biomedical sciences concerned with the study of the physiopathology of the immune system. The study of immunology seeks to solve problems posed by complex pathologies of particular importance to public health. Through methodological development, immunology has become an essential tool in biotechnology, in the design of drugs and diagnostic instruments, and in a multitude of therapeutic applications. Immunology is a key field in biomedical research around the world.

The MSc in Experimental and Translational Immunology is designed to provide students with a deep understanding of how the immune system works and how it can be harnessed to improve health. The program covers fundamental concepts in immunology alongsi…

The program offers a comprehensive training in immunology, focusing on understanding the immune system's role in health and disease. Students will explore the latest research and develop skills in laboratory techniques, experimental design, and data …

Immunology is a dynamically evolving discipline integrating the knowledge of molecular and cell biology, physiology, histology, and functional morphology (in the context of evolution and ontogenesis) relevant to the immune system, a self-defense unit composed of functionally interacting molecules, cells, and tissues involved in immune responses. Immunology outputs show a major impact in a multitude of biomedical fields today. Topics such as transplantation, allergy, immune deficiency, autoimmunity, immunosuppression, immunotherapy, or anti-tumor immunity are typical areas of interest to immunologists. Immunology covers all levels of biological knowledge from molecules (cytokines, immunoglobulins, receptors, signaling molecules), cells (a wide array of immunocompetent cells), whole organisms (having transgenic animal models in use and interaction with the immune system is being investigated), and communities (evolution of immune mechanisms, e.g. frequencies of different alleles regulating the immune response within a population). Clinical immunology is an important emancipated immunology specialization, for which the human immune system is the object of studies, and understanding the mechanism of its action leads to the development of potential therapeutic applications. Typically, a four-year postgraduate's study of immunology deepens the master's education having more specialized lectures and mainly by intensive scientific education by the supervisor. Courses and lectures are provided by specialists from the Faculty of Science and Faculties of Medicine of Charles University and, to a great extent, experts from the institutes of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (mainly IMG and IM). Students are conducting doctoral theses, in these institutions mainly, but also in hospitals, clinical laboratories, or private companies - biotechnology development centers. Students are repeatedly reporting the progress of their doctoral theses at conferences, as of a poster or an oral presentation. For their projects, students can receive support through various grant calls. They learn about the international dimension of scientific cooperation in foreign laboratories. The output of scientific activities associated with the elaboration of doctoral theses is numerous posters and presentations at international conferences and publications in international impacted journals. The key activity of the Immunology program guarantor, as well as the immunologists at the Faculty of Science, is student project supervision, stimulation of their independent experimental work, and critical evaluation of the primary literature. In order to achieve that, we provide the course Advances in Immunology (in English). The program is carried out without any specialization.

PhD by research via Distance Learning is awarded after successfully completing a theoretical research specialization. This research is presented in the form of a doctoral thesis. The PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) is the only doctoral degree that can be achieved through distance learning. The main requirement for a PhD online through distance learning is to present and discuss a thesis of at least 100 pages for review and evaluation by an academic committee at Selinus University. The thesis of this doctoral program should provide original information on microbiology and immunology for health professionals. To investigate emerging infectious diseases, microscopy, recombinant DNA technology, domains in microbial classification, infectious diseases, resistance to antibiotics, immunology and industrial uses of microbes. The thesis should focus on understanding the key clinical concepts of microbiology, virology and infections.

The Leading International Vaccinology Education (LIVE) Master of Science is a two-year programme that provides students with an advanced understanding of immunology, immunopathology, infectiology, vaccine-targeted diseases, vaccinology, and related legislation, health policy and humanities.

The demand for infection control courses has increased in recent years due to contagious outbreaks such as MRSA, swine flu and Ebola highlighting the need for more effective infection control. This 100% online and part-time PG Dip Infection Control is designed to equip healthcare professionals with a comprehensive understanding of infectious disease control and prevention in hospital, social care and community settings. This online PG Dip delves into key topics within infection control including microbiology, immunology, public health and communicable disease control. You will gain a thorough understanding of the nature of the communicable disease and how to develop strategies for surveillance, control and prevention. At the end of the course, you will be able to continue your studies and advance onto the full Masters programme.

The study program investigates the mechanisms of immune responses at the cellular and molecular level, under normal and pathological conditions. The study program is carried out in collaboration with the Institute of Molecular Genetics and the Institute of Microbiology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.

This program explores innate and adaptive immunity, focusing on defense mechanisms, immune regulation, and related diseases. Students gain insights essential for developing advanced therapies for autoimmune disorders, cancer, and infections—crucial in modern biomedical science.

Infection Biology is a growing field within biology that combines immunology, microbiology, molecular biology and cell biology. Research and education within this field are important to understand and control various types of infectious diseases in the future.

The Master of Science (MSc) is a two-year degree which encompasses both coursework and research. The first year involves mainly coursework and preliminary research preparation. Students will have the opportunity to contribute to existing fields of research, or to begin to develop new areas.

This Master’s degree provides a methodological toolbox for disease control; it includes epidemiology, statistics, GIS, and meta-analysis, as well as practical, hands-on experience. Disease prevention plays a vital role in improving international health and welfare, including areas such as human rights, justice, and gender equality.
