The amount of money that seems to get spent on me really shows that there is an interest in helping students expand their knowledge and really understand the subject. Lectures are always interesting and although the work load is heavy, the options you have of choosing what to research and write about in essays means you can learn pretty much anything you find interesting. Immunology is a great choice for anyone interested in genetics, microbiology, neuroscience or medicine related biology. read more
