Medical Bioscience (including foundation year) - BSc (Hons)

The preparatory year on our Medical Bioscience (including foundation year) BSc (Hons) will ensure you are fully prepared for the rest of your course. In Year 0 you’ll cover several key concepts in medical bioscience including the important functions of molecules in biochemistry, an introduction to human physiology, laboratory techniques, logical argument and basic mathematical concepts.

The foundation year is shared with several other science-related foundation courses, so you’ll get to study alongside other students who are interested in varying scientific disciplines.

Following your foundation year, you will study the same modules and content as those who study our three-year Medical Bioscience BSc (Hons) degree. As you progress through the course you’ll also have the option to specialise in an area that most interests you.

You’ll also be supported throughout the course by our academic staff. The following three years of your course will focus on mastering key scientific principles including anatomy, biochemistry, biology and physiology.

You’ll have access to our state-of-the-art £30 million Science Centre and Superlab. Our exceptional teaching and research facilities will help you gain practical experience in a realistic work setting. The combination of practical work experience and scientific theory will ensure you graduate ready to begin your exciting career in science.
