Overview

During the Biomedical Science (with Foundation Year) programme from The University of Lancashire you'll develop your knowledge of how the human body functions and gaining the skills you need to progress to a full honours degree.

The foundation year degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study but you don’t have the qualifications you need to enter the full honours degree programme. During the foundation year, we’ll equip you with the knowledge, understanding, and practical science skills you’ll need to succeed at degree level.

What you'll do

Enhance your practical skills with a variety of hands-on Biology and Chemistry laboratory sessions and Physics workshops.

You can use this foundation year as an opportunity to get to know other foundation students on different science-based degree programmes.

The research activities of our staff enhance our teaching and will enrich your learning experience. Courses are shaped by research-informed teaching.

Future careers

Your Biomedical Science (with Foundation Year) degree could lead to work in diagnostic and pathology laboratories, in hospitals and other medical institutions, or you could work in areas such as toxicology.

You could also pursue careers in research, through postgraduate study, teaching and marketing or management within biomedical-related industries. And some graduates go on to pursue further studies in dentistry or medicine.
