Course for advanced undergraduate (4th and 5th year) and postgraduate students are in the English language only. Prerequisite is the basic knowledge of immunology and proficient English. The discussion is a major part of the course and every minute is a unique opportunity for you. Take it seriously and apply the knowledge you have gained through the basic courses in Immunology! We aim at attracting professionals from diverse fields including clinical and veterinary medicine.
Such "indefinite" course brings a cutting-edge topic selected by the lecturer to students. Important achievements published in high-ranked journals are first reviewed in the overview lecture and later discussed during the Journal Club by students themselves over the selected paper in the second turn with a special attention to the details of scientific methods, experiment design, data interpretation and visualization. The topic is unique for each lesson and it is selected by the tutor.
