The IS1 is the equivalent to the first year of your undergraduate degree. IS1 is designed to help you develop knowledge and understanding within your subject area, as well as your English Language and study skills, before you continue onto your chosen University of Dundee undergraduate degree. Studied across three terms, you will continue straight onto Year 2 of your degree programme once you have successfully completed your IS1.

Overview

The Life & Biomedical Sciences pathway at ICD allows you to access a range of exciting undergraduate degrees – such as Pharmacology or Molecular Biology.

Course Description

The application of research from life and biomedical sciences can change lives – and in some cases, save them. As a discipline, it’s a fascinating and rewarding journey that connects with many other areas of study.

The pathway in Life & Biomedical Sciences is a different way to begin a range of exciting undergraduate degrees. International Stage One will give you an excellent grounding in a variety of areas within the field: you will then continue to stage 2 of your chosen specialist degree and subject area, studying directly with the School of Life Sciences at the University of Dundee.

Dundee is the top university in the UK for Biological Sciences according to the Research Excellence Framework (2014). Leading scientists are involved in both the planning and teaching of courses at Dundee, and students benefit from up-to-date and well-equipped facilities for practical work.
