The university’s School of Life Sciences have recently announced the launch of five single-year postgraduate courses in biomedical and molecular sciences. As well as a single honour’s course, there will be the option to combine biomedical and molecular sciences with one of business, entrepreneurship, management or marketing. These full-time courses will enhance graduates’ preparation for their next career move.
The biomedical and molecular sciences side of the courses will specialise in the pre-eminent areas of interest in the biopharmaceutical sector, equipping students with the skills and tools needed to succeed in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry. Additionally, students will be learning from and working in partnership with researchers at the cutting-edge of their field, allowing them to develop the skills which will give them an advantage in their future career path.
The joint honour’s courses will combine this with a critical teaching of either business, entrepreneurship, management or marketing skills. These four areas are of rapidly growing importance in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry and the rigorous grounding in them that these courses provide will enable students to stand out in the crowded job market of this industry.
The university will also be welcoming international students to the University of Dundee to study Adult Nursing. It is proud to be in the World Top 100 for Nursing (QS World Rankings, 2018) and its students praised the course for its 50/50 split between theoretical teaching and practical placements. Its Adult Nursing programme can be studied at BSc, BSc (Hons) or MSc level, depending on the student’s academic qualifications.
At the University of Dundee, students can be assured that the standard of teaching is extremely high as the university holds many awards including a gold ranking in the Teaching Excellence Framework 2017. The framework was introduced by the UK government to recognise and reward excellent teaching and learning.
Some other factors that determine the quality of the study experience include the following:
The University of Dundee is split into nine schools containing numerous disciplines. All schools have associated research centres or units. The schools are: Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, School of Dentistry, School of Education and Social Work, School of Humanities, School of Life Sciences, School of Medicine, School of Nursing and Health Sciences, School of Science and Engineering, and School of Social Sciences.
Students can take advantage of relatively small class sizes with tutors who are available to answer any questions that they may have. As a result, students will have the perfect opportunity to get the most out of their tuition which will be tailored to what they need. As Dundee’s campus is relatively compact, students will be able to reach tutorials, lectures and seminars easily.
Entry requirements for all courses can be found on the relevant course pages. All courses at the University of Dundee are taught in English, so students will need to meet the specific English language requirements for the course they have chosen. If a students’ first language is not English, they are required to provide IELTS test results with a minimum score of 6.0 overall (or equivalent) so that they can to be successful in their academic studies. If they are yet to have taken an English language test, or don’t have a current valid test score, they can still apply to the university, but any offer they receive will normally be conditional on meeting the language requirement.
Furthermore, international students who need a visa to study in the UK are also required to meet the level of English required by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI).
The University of Dundee encourages the best and brightest students to study with them through a range of scholarships available at all levels. It recently invested GBP 1.4 million in a range of new scholarships for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
The university is dedicated to rewarding high achieving students. It has a scheme in place to celebrate the students who exhibit academic, extra-curricular or volunteering success. The Global Excellence Scholarships automatically awards GBP 5,000 per academic year to eligible students for this. Those who cannot meet the requirements also have the opportunity to apply for a one-off payment of GBP 5,000.
Students can visit the scholarship page to discover the best options for them. For any questions regarding scholarships, they can contact the friendly staff at Dundee who will be more than happy to help.
When students first arrive at Dundee, they will experience the university’s top-class facilities. There’s a range of accommodation choices for undergraduate and postgraduate students, the majority of which are on campus. All accommodation has shared kitchens and private bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.
The Students' Union (DUSA) was ranked 2nd in the country by the Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey 2018 - and there’s always plenty for students to get involved in. There are more than 180 societies, so students will easily be able to meet new people and try different things. They can also purchase coffee, tea and lunch at the DUSA, making it an ideal location for socialising.
Students will find a number of libraries on campus. The main library has recently been refurbished and now consists of themed spaces, quality facilities and a large variety of resources to help students succeed academically.
On campus, students will also discover many areas where they can relax, including the Global Room. Here they are able to speak with the friendly team who will provide information about exciting events including international film screenings and cultural events such as St Andrew’s Day celebrations.
