About Biochemistry with Immunology, BA (Hons) - at Trinity College Dublin

What is biochemistry with immunology?

Biochemistry is the study of the chemical basis of life. Immunology is an exciting and rapidly developing area of science. It involves studying the molecules and cells of the body that are involved in recognising and fighting infection and disease. As such, it complements biochemistry well, as this is an area that also seeks to understand the nature of disease and medical disorders.

What will you study?

In the Junior Sophister (third) year you will share many of your courses with students of biochemistry, particularly in the areas of cell and molecular biology. Immunology topics covered include:

• Core concepts in immunology


• Cells and molecules of the immune system


• Infectious diseases and vaccines


• Autoimmunity, allergies and cancer.

In the Senior Sophister (fourth) year you will carry out a research project within one of the department's active immunology research groups and also cover specialist topics in both biochemistry and immunology.

Career Opportunities

On completion of this course, you will be qualified to work in all areas of biochemistry and/or immunology. Postgraduate research or work in hospital and commercial laboratories will be the primary focus of opportunities for you. However, the breadth of the course will also allow you to pursue a career in areas as diverse as teaching, information systems, or communications and management.
