University of Dundee

BSc Biological and Biomedical Sciences joint degree with National University of Singapore

University of Dundee

Course overview

This degree allows students to study in two leading universities in the field of life sciences, spending the first part of their degree in Dundee, Scotland and the second part in Singapore at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Students will learn key theories - from the molecular level to full body systems - to understand the field as a whole.

 

Their first five semesters (till halfway through Level 3) are spent at the University of Dundee and will cover core concepts including genetics, cell biology, biological organisation, molecular mechanisms and processes. They 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 their course.
