Biosciences with a Foundation Year
Our BSc Biosciences with a Foundation Year (formerly known as Life Sciences with a Foundation Year) course enables all of our bioscience undergraduate courses to be studied with a foundation year if you do not have a science background or the appropriate entry qualifications.
Taught by Xaverian College close to the University campus, the foundation year provides the necessary academic background in biology, chemistry and mathematics to prepare you for study on any one of our biological or biomedical science courses.
There is also a complementary programme of tutorials, seminars and laboratory practical at the main University campus.
Successful completion of the foundation year allows you direct entry onto any of our three- or four-year degree courses.
