Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biomedical Science (Foundation Year) (B902)

The Biomedical Science BSc (Hons) degree with a foundation year will prepare students for study at undergraduate level, while providing them with scientific knowledge of biomedical science and disease processes.

This four-year degree with a built-in foundation year (Year 0) is ideal if students can’t meet the Biomedical Science entry requirements or don’t hold the traditional qualifications needed to enter the three-year undergraduate degree. On graduation, students will receive the same title and qualifications as those who study the standard Biomedical Science course.

On the Biomedical Science (Foundation Year) BSc (Hons), students will help build students' knowledge and understanding of the molecules, structures, systems and processes that underpin normal cell, tissue and body functioning. Students will be able to critically evaluate and develop ideas on issues, methodologies and processes within the biomedical science field.

During the degree, students will be supported by experienced tutors and a number of other services at London Metropolitan University to help them settle in, progress academically and prepare for their future career. Students will learn in an environment that is designed to foster confidence and motivation that will help them to succeed in their studies and beyond.

The foundation year is designed to provide the fundamental knowledge base in key disciplines, such as biology and chemistry, which is required throughout the biomedical science degree course. Students will share this year with students from other foundation year courses, so they’ll get to learn alongside students with different academic interests and perspectives on the topics they study.
