Course Description
The foundation year provides a route onto a biology or chemistry degree if you don't have the qualifications or have not studied advanced level subjects sufficiently related to your course of choice.
After successful completion of the foundation year in biology and chemistry, you can progress on to one of the relevant BSc (Hons) degrees.
Whichever route you take, you’ll have the skills and understanding you need to undertake further study or get started in your career.
- FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Provides a route onto your chosen degree course if you don't currently meet the entry requirements.
- Foundation years are designed to make undergraduate degrees more accessible to those who are under-represented in higher education, for example, those with non-traditional qualifications.
- Course content is tailored so that it is appropriate to your chosen degree.
- Helps you to develop the study skills and academic knowledge you will need to start Year 1 of your degree with confidence.
- You will be eligible to apply for student finance in the same way as other undergraduates.
We are investing £115m to transform the way we teach and you learn in the Faculty of Science and Engineering. Open from Autumn 2023, our new Dalton building will enhance collaboration between students, staff and industry, and provide new and improved teaching spaces.
