Biology is the study of living organisms. This usually involves the study of topics like genetics, evolution, ecology, and cellular processes. So where does mathematics fit in?

The biological sciences are changing fast. There have been major advances in experimental techniques. The use of computational techniques from, for example, image analysis and AI is now commonplace. This has created a demand for quantitative biologists. Such scientists can use their biology, maths and computing skills to solve complex problems.

In your mathematical biology degree, you will:

learn to apply mathematical principles to the study of biological systems

develop core maths skills in geometry, algebra, and calculus

explore major biology topics, such as biochemistry, genetics, and bioinformatics

practice lab skills, like PCR and protein purification

learn programming languages used in mathematical and biological sciences

During the first year you'll spend two thirds of your time studying life science modules to give you the biological background. You'll also begin to study university-level mathematics.

Increased employability skills

You will learn to problem solve in the context of biological systems. You will also learn how to use advanced statistical and mathematical software. Hence you will develop essential and sought after skills.

The skills that you develop could also be used in other fields. Mathematics degrees in general offer a wide range of career opportunities. We know that recent Dundee maths graduates now work across a range of well-paid and exciting jobs. These include data analysts, actuaries, accountants, software developers, teachers, academic researchers, engineers.

Passionate teaching

At the University of Dundee, our staff are committed to helping you succeed. Lecturers will get to know you personally and provide support. The “Maths Base” drop-in centre also offers extra help.

You’ll learn from leading researchers who are passionate about biology and mathematics. You’ll be taught by experts eager to share their knowledge.

Student community

At Dundee, you’ll join a friendly student community. You can become part of DUMaS (Dundee University Maths Society). Here you’ll meet other maths and mathematical biology students, join events, and feel at home.

With a strong community on your course and across campus, you’ll find plenty of chances to make friends and enjoy university life.

What can you do with a maths degree?

We take a look at ten varied jobs which you can do with a degree in mathematics.

“I’ve always really enjoyed mathematics and biology, so I was delighted to find a course that combined both. This course encourages me to look at things from two viewpoints and come up with new, innovative ideas.”

Eleonore Ocana, Mathematical Biology student

Professional Accreditation

This course is certified by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.
