Spend the first part of your degree in Dundee, Scotland, to build your skills and knowledge in cutting-edge biology theory and techniques before attending the National University of Singapore (ranked No.1 university in Asia and No.11 in the world, QS Rankings 2019) for 18 months to complete your honours project. You'll gain valuable international experience as well as attending two of the world's best-known universities for biological and biomedical sciences.

You'll be making the most of each university’s strength in the field of biosciences. The course will provide a firm grounding in biological sciences and develop a complementary specialism in one of the following:

Genetic Medicine
Neurobiology
Physiology and Ageing
Through skills training and research-led theory you’ll build your confidence. You'll learn to be a self-reflective and critical thinker. In an international teaching environment, you’ll rise to tackle the challenges in this field using the latest methodologies and problem-solving techniques. There will be ample opportunity to network, collaborate, and shape your career.

You will graduate with an appreciation of different cultures and an understanding of the global aspects of life sciences research and application.

From day one, you will be enrolled at both the University of Dundee and the National University of Singapore. This means you can start collaborating and sharing experiences with your Singaporean counterparts and get access to the services of each university. You will travel abroad to study in Singapore after you have completed semester 1, level 3.
