Overview
Through the Biology (with a Foundation Year) course from Lancaster University you’ll study your Foundation Year at the Lancaster University School of Mathematics, based at our delivery partner, Cardinal Newman College in Preston. However, with accommodation on Lancaster University’s campus and access to all our facilities, you’ll still be fully involved in university life.
Our Foundation Years will follow the same semester dates as Lancaster University, with taught sessions taking place at Cardinal Newman College on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Wednesdays will not carry any formal teaching hours, but might be utilised for project or practical work on site at Lancaster University or remotely.
The teaching day will run from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with free transport from our Lancaster campus to Cardinal Newman College provided four days a week during term time.
Timetabled sessions for Foundation Year students will be structured to incorporate elements of university-style learning, to include a combination of taught sessions, group work, problem-based learning and project work.
You will study three modules linked to your chosen degree during the year. Your timetable will include a combination of compulsory and optional STEM based modules, which will reflect your chosen degree pathway.
Career opportunities:
From jungles to oceans, hospitals to classrooms, a degree in biology opens up a world of career opportunities.Perhaps you’ll choose modules related to biomedicine and go for a career in the biosciences such as:
Biotechnologist
Microbiologist
Research Scientist (life sciences)
Forensic Scientist
Or, you might choose a career focussing more on ecology and conservation, such as:
Marine Biologist
Nature Conservation Officer
Soil Scientist
Water Quality Scientist
Wildlife Conservationist
Zoologist
And, if you don’t know where your interests lie right now, you will have time and space to explore these throughout your degree.
Your transferable skills and analytical training will also open up potential careers in other fields such as management, teaching, marketing and finance.
