Master of Science - Biomedical and Molecular Sciences with Business

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

This course focuses on key areas in the biotech and pharmaceutical sectors, and will prepare students for a future in these industries. Students will gain knowledge and skills that employers are looking for – including an in-depth understanding of molecular and cellular mechanisms of a range of diseases, and how this can help develop better ways of diagnosing and treating disease.

Students will have access to drug discovery and phenotypic screening technologies that are of industry standard, and rarely found in an academic setting. Alongside the core science component of the course, students will also take business modules that will help develop their skills in this area.

Following the taught component of this course, students will undertake a bio-business research project where they will focus their business ideas on a bioscience research development, applying what they've learned to a real-life project.
