Course content

Biomedical and molecular sciences are fast-moving fields that explore the complexities of biological systems. This is often to the benefit of human health through the discovery of treatments or cures for diseases. We have particular research strengths in these areas at Dundee.

These sectors require not only sound knowledge and practical skills in biosciences, but a strong understanding of entrepreneurship, leadership and decision-making, given the opportunities available.

This course focuses on key areas in the biotech and pharmaceutical sectors. It will help prepare you for a future in these industries. You'll gain knowledge and skills that employers are looking for. This includes an in-depth understanding of molecular and cellular mechanisms of a range of diseases. This understanding can help develop better ways of diagnosing and treating disease.

This bioscience experience is enhanced by the business acumen and entrepreneurship skills you'll develop in tandem.

Following the taught component of this course, you'll undertake a research project where you will focus your business ideas on a bioscience research development, applying what you've learned to a real-life project. You'll work alongside University researchers and staff at our Centre for Entrepreneurship - a facility dedicated to improving entrepreneurship opportunities for students and staff.

Note: the teaching on this course is primarily classroom-based, not lab-based.
