Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biomedical Sciences (Including an Industrial Year)

In Biomedical Sciences students combine a range of topics from the field at Levels 1 and 2 before specializing in areas that interest them at Levels 3 and 4. This will include normal and diseased function as well as ways to prevent and treat disease. Between Level 3 and 4, students will spend a year working in a related industry - for example in a commercial lab - before returning to their studies.

Students will learn key theories - from molecular level to full body systems - to understand the field as a whole.

The first two years will cover core concepts including genetics, cell biology, biological organization, molecular mechanisms and processes. Students will develop practical skills, including laboratory skills, data analysis, and how to design and run experiments. This will prepare them for carrying out projects later in the course.

Students can pick modules that interest them and the flexibility of Dundee's courses also means they can transfer to a different life sciences degree if students choose the relevant modules.

Dundee's course curriculum is shaped by the work of world-leading researchers to make sure they’re learning the latest advances, as well as gaining an understanding of the fundamentals of the field.

Laboratory sessions throughout the degree will help integrate their knowledge and practical skills, as well as develop strong transferable skills, both in and out of the lab.
