Course Overview

This course explores approaches to treatment with a focus on neuroscience, metabolic disease, and cancer – all research strengths at Dundee. This gives you an understanding of how scientists explore biomedical discoveries and develop them from initial innovation to real-world application. You will focus on topics like molecular pharmacology and quantitative pharmacology – how drugs behave depending on various factors. Gaining an understanding of key theories, from the molecular level to full body systems and beyond, is important to understand the field as a whole. Your first two years will cover concepts including genetics, cell division, biological organisation, molecular mechanisms, and processes. You will develop practical skills, including laboratory skills, data analysis, and how to design and run experiments. This will prepare you for carrying out projects later in your course. You will pick modules that suits your interests and can transfer to a different life sciences degree if you choose the relevant modules.

The pathway to this degree is International Stage One (IS1), with two study options available: IS1 (3 terms) and IS1 (2 terms – Accelerated). Please note that the April intake is available for the IS1 (2-term Accelerated) option only.
