Foundations in Virology and Vaccinology Specialization

Virus/Vaccine elements, Infection Prevention/Cause. Explain the fundamentals of vaccinology in the context of what vaccines are and how vaccines protect us; identify different vaccine types and differentiate between the different applications of vaccines; explain the fundamental principles of virology whilst recognising the diversity of virus structure and differences in approach required to detect and track viruses amongst different populations; and assess the different approaches to the treatment of viruses, and contrast this to vaccine protection.

Specialization - 4 course series

Throughout the four courses within this specialisation, you will have the opportunity to undertake a series of formative and summative assessments where you will apply what you have learned about how viruses cause infections and how vaccines prevent infections. These will explore historical perspectives of the development of both virology and vaccinology, as well as current issues in both fields, such as the emergence of the SARS-2-CoV (COVID-19) virus and the science behind the development of vaccines against this virus which have saved so many lives.
