Mathematical Biology, BSc (Hons)

Mathematicians and biologists have collaborated successfully for decades, applying mathematical techniques and computational methods to solve complex biological problems. Students will develop a deep understanding of mathematics' essential role in interpreting the natural world and learn to apply it practically, such as using equations to model phenomena like tumour cell growth or organism behaviour patterns.In the first year, students will spend two-thirds of their time on life science modules to establish a solid biological foundation, alongside introductory university-level mathematics. Faculty provide personalised support, including the "Maths Base" drop-in facility. The university holds a strong reputation for research in Life Sciences and Mathematical Biology, with teaching by leading academics. Students can join DUMaS, the Dundee University Maths Society, open to all in mathematics or mathematical biology. Modules and assessment details are available on the course webpage at dundee.ac.uk. The programme is accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, offering industry recognition.
