Facilities

Technology platforms and support

The College of Life Sciences has a range core facilities and technology platforms to support world-class research.

We strive to ensure that principal investigators have access to the most advanced technologies to accelerate discovery. These include mass-spectrometry-based proteomics, fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, deep sequencing, compound and siRNA screening and high performance computing.

Getting a bank account

Lloyds TSB main branch (Perth Road, very near the University) will open an account for you and provide a debit card on the day, providing you have a passport and a written UK address (a utility bill is accepted, but not required). A temporary address is permitted, such as a "care of" address, as is the use of University Halls of Residence.

Studying Abroad

In the School of Life Sciences we want to encourage you all to broaden your horizons and really experience what it is like to study and live abroad during your time at Dundee.

By selecting a study abroad experience you will have the opportunity to:

Biological Sciences

The Biological Sciences route begins at level 3 after completion of the core Life Sciences curriculum. The ethos of this programme is to give students a truly research led experience with virtually all lectures given by PIs who are actively researching the subject areas they present lectures in.

Biomedical Sciences

The Biomedical Sciences welcomes you at level 3 after completion of the core Life Sciences curriculum. Our new research-led Biomedical Sciences programme includes opportunities to study core themes Physiology and Pharmacology alongside more-focused studies in Neuroscience and Sports Biomedicine. The programme is designed and run largely by leading researchers from our Colleges of Life Sciences and Medicine, Dentistry & Nursing, including colleagues from the Institute of Sport and Exercise.
