Master of Science by Research in Medicine (RFMSC-DAMED1)

The University of Dundee provides a high-quality research and training environment for more than 500 scientists and clinicians.

Its goal is to improve the understanding of the mechanisms of disease to address significant health problems and deliver practical solutions aimed at health improvement for individuals, communities, and populations. By working together, the team aims to translate research between the laboratory and the clinic, with fundamental research themes being informed by critical clinical problems.

The research strategy is strongly influenced by the close working relationship with NHS Tayside, and this partnership is driving the development of the Tayside Academic Health Science Network, which is expected to impact local, national, and international healthcare delivery and improvement.

The University of Dundee’s activities include collaborations at local, national, and international levels, and it receives funding from various sources, including UK research councils and medical charities. Additionally, it maintains strong links with major pharmaceutical companies, which contribute to the funding of applied research.
