Science is advancing at an incredible pace and offers many exciting and fulfilling career opportunities, as well as being intellectually stimulating and satisfying. This course is a gateway to higher education courses for those who demonstrate an interest in scientific issues. Applicants for the Science Foundation Year do not need to have a significant prior knowledge of science but should be motivated to study the subject. Taught in a supportive, friendly and encouraging environment, you will study the basic theoretical principles of the biological and physical sciences, gain extensive practical experience in fieldwork and the laboratory and develop the essential interdisciplinary skills necessary for future work in higher education and science. Science Foundation is considered to be the first year of a four year programme of study leading to one of the science degrees offered at Canterbury Christ Church University. Science courses include Biosciences, Environmental Science, Environmental Biology, Integrated Science, Animal Science, Plant Science and Ecology and Conservation Students who successfully complete the Foundation year may want to accept a Certificate of Foundation Studies and seek employment. Learning in Science includes training in the transferable skills of numeracy, literacy, computing, data handling and oral presentation, among others. Within the Science Foundation year, you are exposed to various different forms of assessment to prepare you for degree-level study. These include laboratory reports, written coursework (essays and exercises), group presentations, posters and examinations.
