BSc Biomedical Sciences with a year in industry
Course overview
In this 5-year Biomedical Science programme from the University of Dundee, students combine a range of topics from the field at Levels 1 and 2 before specialising 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 Levels 3 and 4, students spend a year working in a related industry, for example, in a commercial lab, before returning to their studies.
Students learn key theories from the 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 organisation, molecular mechanisms and processes. Students will develop practical skills, including laboratory skills, data analysis, and how to design and run experiments. This will prepare students for carrying out projects later in the course.
