Biological Chemistry and Drug Discovery (with a year in industry) BSc (Hons)

Drug discovery and biological chemistry integrate chemistry, pharmacology, and biology and use techniques from molecular and chemical biology to find new treatments for diseases. At Dundee, our Drug Discovery Unit bridges lab-focused academic research and industry-scale drug development to create new drugs to fight infections and other diseases. Expertise from this fast-moving field has shaped this course. The degree starts with a broad range of life sciences topics at Levels 1 and 2. Youll then focus on biological chemistry and drug discovery at Levels 3 and 4, spending a year between these levels of study working in a related industry - for example in a commercial lab. Your first two years of study will explore core concepts like genetics, cell biology, biological organization, molecular mechanisms, and processes. You will develop practical skills, including laboratory skills, data analysis, and experiment design. This will prepare you for working on projects at Levels 3 and 4.
