MSc Immunology and Allergy in the University of Nottingham
Dear members,
I solicit your valuable suggestions:
I have been offered a place in the University of Nottingham to study MSc Immunology and Allergy for the year . Please put your views on the following:
1. How good is the course?
2. What is the possibility of getting PhD studentships (as overseas student) after this course?
3. What are the job opportunities after this course? What kind of jobs would be available and what would be the salary?
4. How this course compare with similar courses in other good universities in the UK?
Your views will help me to make a better decision on whether or not to join in this course.
Thank you.

Never really heard of it to be honest. As for job opportunities they're most likely to be research based I would have thought.

I don't know anything about the course, but a Master's will firstly set you up nicely for a PhD, if that's what you decide you want to do. Is it research-based or taught?
With a Master's you can get a job as a technician or research assistant; you could do this while working towards a PhD in many institutions. Obviously you can apply to all the desk-based jobs you could with a bachelor's degree - I can't really see how a Master's could disqualify you from anything you could do without it, unless you're just doing it because you can't be bothered to get a job (in which case, it's probably a bad idea). You can work in an NHS diagnostic department, and I think you can work for many pharmaceuticals companies too, although I think a PhD can be an advantage in industry. You could probably get a job working for a scientific or medical journal as well, although again I'm not sure a PhD wouldn't be an advantage.
I'm afraid I can't be absolutely sure any of this is right because although I'm keeping half an eye on the jobs market for immunologists, I'm doing it under the assumption that if I do apply for anything I'll have a PhD when I do; so I can't be sure that all the above applies to those with a Master's. I'd suggest you do some research of your own; look in places like NatureJobs and the NewScientist job section to see what's available.
