Program Overview

International Year Two in Medical Sciences

The International Year Two Medical Sciences is equivalent to the second year of a Scottish undergraduate honours degree. It is designed for those international students who have achieved a higher level of academic and English language than the entry level required for the Undergraduate Foundation Programme.

You will spend three terms at the International Study Centre, developing your English language skills and subject-specific knowledge, before progressing to the third year of a four-year undergraduate degree at the University of Aberdeen.

Leading to:- Biochemistry BSc

Biochemistry lies at the interface between biology and medicine. Whether it be single-celled bacteria or the trillions of cells found in humans, all of the fundamental processes of the cell happen at the biochemical level. Understanding these processes can provide insights into subjects ranging from the evolution of life to developing treatments for common conditions such as diabetes, cancer and obesity.

On any given day people who graduated with an Aberdeen Biochemistry degree will be analysing water samples for pollution, designing new life-saving medicines, producing new nanotechnologies, examining nutrient content in food and drink, helping people conceive in IVF clinics or selling scientific equipment to labs around the world.

This degree programme covers many areas of biochemistry at the molecular, cellular and organ system levels. Additionally, you will gain an in depth understanding of selected aspects of biochemistry which will reflect the research expertise and strengths within the University.
