I know it's a bit late lol but I've applied to study Immunology at Edinburgh and Glasgow next year. Edinburgh get a brilliant reputation and luckily I've been accepted there The deadline has gone for applying through UCAS this year but I think you still can until June. I know it's a brilliant subject that you can diversify from and there's alot of scope for you to move around within departments when you've got in... Might see you there

Bangor uni does a postgraduate (masters and phd level) on venoms and reptiles - I go to Liverpool JMU and we had a talk from a guy from Bangor - it was fantastic - really knew his stuff on venoms and composition etc. also on the preys resistance.
May also be worth looking at Liverpool uni as they have the school of tropical medicine and deal with the majority of anti-venom research in this country.
Hope that helps!!

Wolfgang Wuster teaches at Bangor hes one of the leading herpetologists in the world, alot of these guys that go out and study reptiles in the wild are obviously scientists, so qualifications in biology, toxicology ect are useful.

Yeah it was wolfgang that gave us the lecture. I think in Bangor when you get his real expertise is when you are a postgrad, thats what I'm aiming for, in my last year of zoology so hoping to get a 2.1 and get on a masters course.
