Biological and Biomedical Sciences (joint degree with National University of Singapore) Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)
Course Overview - Biological and Biomedical Sciences (joint degree with National University of Singapore) Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)
Biological Science examines life in all forms, with a focus on the cellular level.
Biomedical Science examines the function of the human body. It does so in both healthy and diseased scenarios, from the molecular level to full body systems.
This course will allow you to study in two leading universities in the field of life sciences.
You will gain a strong grounding in both biological and biomedical sciences. You will also have the unique opportunity to learn and experience the culture of two very different countries.

Biological Science examines life in all forms, with a focus on the cellular level.
Biomedical Science examines the function of the human body. It does so in both healthy and diseased scenarios, from the molecular level to full body systems.
This course will allow you to study in two leading universities in the field of life sciences.
You will gain a strong grounding in both biological and biomedical sciences. You will also have the unique opportunity to learn and experience the culture of two very different countries.
You’ll have the opportunity to network and collaborate with others which will be beneficial upon completion of your studies.
Your first five semesters (till halfway through Level 3) are spent at the University of Dundee. These will cover core concepts such as:
* genetics
* cell biology
* biological organisation
* molecular mechanisms and processes
You will develop your practical skills such as laboratory skills, data analysis, and experiment design. This will prepare you for designing and 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.
