Biomedicine and Biomedical Science with A Foundation Year BSc (Hons)

<strong>Overview</strong><br/><br/>This is an exciting opportunity for you to study Biomedicine or Biomedical Sciences at UEA, even if you don’t have the standard entry qualifications for these courses or feel you need a more supported start to your university life. <br/><br/>You’ll begin with a foundation year covering core subjects to help prepare you for your degree. About 60% of this year will focus on biology. You’ll learn about cells, organisms, ecosystems, and how all these areas connect to help us live healthier and more sustainable lives. The remaining 40% of your studies will include research skills, chemistry, and mathematics, depending on what you’ve studied before and which degree you plan to take. <br/><br/>After successfully completing the foundation year, you’ll move on to one of two degrees: <br/><br/>Biomedicine (BSc Hons): This course focuses on medical research and how it can be used to treat patients. <br/>Biomedical Science (BSc Hons): This is aimed at training students to work in NHS laboratories and is approved by the Institute of Biomedical Science. <br/>If you’re not sure which course to choose, don’t worry. The first year of both degrees is the same, so you can decide which one suits you best at the end of that year. You can also add a year abroad or a placement year to your course. <br/><br/>You’ll be taught by experts, including scientists, hospital consultants, and medical professionals. You’ll also learn in excellent facilities like the new £34 million STEM labs and the Norwich Medical School. UEA is part of the Norwich Research Park, which includes top research centres and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, giving you a great environment to study, learn, and grow. <br/><br/><strong>Disclaimer</strong><br/><br/>Course details are subject to change.
