Understanding normal and abnormal function brings science to a human context and is critical for the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Our programmes range from the study of fundamental science in our human physiology course through to studying the characteristics and diagnosis of disease in biomedical science.

The foundation year provides a route onto a life sciences 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 Life Sciences, you can progress on to one of the relevant BSc (Hons) degrees:

• BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science
• BSc (Hons) Human Biosciences
• BSc (Hons) Human Physiology

Whichever route you take, you’ll have the skills and understanding you need to undertake further study or get started in your career.

After successful completion of the Foundation Year in Life Sciences, you can progress on to one of the relevant BSc (Hons) degrees.

Our biomedical and physiological sciences students are equipped with the skills and knowledge that puts them in demand. Our recent graduates have gone on to study for masters degrees or PhDs, and into a variety of roles – from biomedical scientists, cardiac physiologists and genetic technologists, to science teachers and postgraduate researchers.
