Biomedical Science (with Foundation Year) BSc (Hons)

The Foundation Year provides students with a solid foundation in academic skills and science-related disciplines; instilling knowledge and practical skills that will prepare them for the BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science. The course is structured such that all S1 modules are shared across all BSc with foundation year programmes in the School of Applied Sciences. Students who wish to change programme at the end of S1 can do so through consultation with the course director of both their parent programmes and the programme they wish to change too. This is subject to approval by both Course Directors and successfully passing all S1 modules.<br/><br/>The course will develop academically confident “level 4 ready” students through the provision of a supportive learning environment at Foundation Level that nurtures the development of the theoretical knowledge, academic and practical skills necessary to successfully study the BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science. It will introduce the student to critical reflection, analytical and problem solving and strategic thinking in a broad context at Foundation Level and develop the academic and scientific knowledge skills and competencies necessary to promote success in degree level study of Biomedical Science. It will also enhance student employability through the embedding of a cohesive blend of professional and academic skills whilst simultaneously providing career support and making available opportunities for problem-based learning, volunteering and engaging in extra-curricular activities at university and beyond and deliver a future-fit curriculum at Foundation level that is aligned to the BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science.
