Biological and Biomedical Sciences (joint degree with National University of Singapore)

This degree allows you to study in two leading universities in the field of life sciences, spending the first part of your degree in Dundee, Scotland and the second part in Singapore at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

You will learn key theories - from molecular level to full body systems - to understand the field as a whole.

Your 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. You’ll 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.

Semesters 6 to 8 (the last 18 months of this degree) will be spent at National University of Singapore (NUS). This will be dependent on how you progress through the course. At this point of the course, you’ll focus on a specialism from a choice of:
- genetic medicine


- neurobiology


- physiology and ageing


All which are important issues relevant to human health.

At the University of Dundee, you'll study in a welcoming city on Scotland's east coast, known for its history, culture, and vibrant mix of cafes, restaurants, shops, and bars.

Dundee was named the best place to live in Scotland for under 35s (The Times 2026). Many students find living costs lower than in other UK cities, while excellent road and rail links make travelling easy.

Since 1881, the University has been transforming lives and is recognised globally for strengths in life sciences, medicine, dentistry and engineering.

Student Services provide support throughout your studies, from academic guidance to wellbeing advice.

You'll graduate career-ready from a university ranked 2nd in Scotland for graduate prospects (The Guardian 2026).

With over 150 clubs and societies, from mountaineering to musicals, there's something for everyone.

All student accommodation is self-catered, with furnished en-suite single rooms. New full-time undergraduate students are guaranteed accommodation for their first year (T&Cs apply).
