These include: > biochemistry > molecular biology > molecular genetics > microbiology > biological chemistry > drug discovery.
The Biomedical Sciences theme prepares you for degrees in subjects in which subject-specific knowledge has a stronger role, while still being within the research excellence of the University, and which are focussed more on the human condition:
> anatomical sciences > forensic anthropology > neuroscience > pharmacology > physiological sciences > sport and exercise physiology.
At the end of Level 3, you may leave with a non-Honours BSc degree in Biological or Biomedical Sciences, an excellent foundation for many careers.
Between Levels 3 and 4, you have the opportunity to take a year out of Dundee, either studying abroad, or on a full-time work placement. Both of these can give you a ‘real world’ perspective on your studies, while further developing your CV.
Level 4 continues the specialisation of Level 3, focussing strongly on your degree choice, and with a significant laboratory and skills element, through the Honours project and seminars and presentations. Because the Honours year is that much more challenging, entry to Level 4 from Level 3 requires a minimum grade average.
At the end of Level 4, you will either graduate with a BSc Honours degree in a named single subject, or a more general BSc Honours degree in Biological Sciences or Biomedical Sciences. Specialisation in two subjects will be recognised in your degree title, for example BSc Biomedical Sciences (Pharmacology and Physiological Sciences). The title of your degree will reflect the specialist subject(s) you have studied and the project undertaken.
Integrated Masters (Level 5) We are currently developing the Level 5 curriculum, which will provide an opportunity for extensive development of your research and analytical skills in the subject area you feel most passionate about. This level, the Integrated Masters, may consist of an extensive research project, coupled with in-depth analytical seminars and research training, which will prepare you for the world of biotechnology and pharmaceutical research, both in and out of the academic world; or it may focus on the specialist knowledge in e.g. anatomical or forensic sciences, that will prepare you to be a practitioner on graduation.
If you want to do the Masters year, you will need to achieve high scores throughout your studies, as progression into this part of the course will be competitive.
Full details about the Integrated Masters programmes (MSci or MBiolSci) on offer (and their UCAS codes) will be available from our programme webpage during 2011.
transferable skills
Throughout your scientific studies you will be developing transferable skills. At Levels 1 to 3 you will be taught transferable skills, either embedded within the core curriculum, or as part of the pastoral and academic tutorial system. Your degree programme will involve a combination of independent learning and team work, through which you will develop your skills in information processing, use of computers, problem-solving, experimental design, analysis and critical evaluation of scientific literature, report writing, making presentations, communication and time management. These are important elements of all of our degree programmes, and they will help to ensure that you have the skills to make you attractive to a wide range of employers.
