BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science with Foundation Year

Learn how to apply biology based science to clinical medical situations. Our biomedical science foundation year pathway aims to build foundational knowledge and understanding of the biological and chemical principles that underpin the biomedicine field before you progress onto the full BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science degree course.

This pathway is recommended if you want to study the full honours degree, but don’t meet the direct entry requirements. On successful completion of the foundation year, you will have the knowledge, practical and analytical skills required to confidently and effectively progress to study biomedical science at degree level.

Integrating our industry-focused approach to learning, our Biomedicine courses include visits to local pathology laboratories and the contribution of external NHS specialists and biomedical scientists, with whom we have strong and longstanding links.

You will:

• Gain a broad understanding of biological and chemical principles to prepare you for advanced study

• Develop the lab skills needed to become an employable biomedical scientist or for a career in medical laboratory research

• Learn alongside research active academics and technicians in our advanced Bodmer laboratories
