Biomedical Science (with Foundation Year)

You’ll be taught by the same academics and have access to the same specialist facilities as the rest of our undergraduate students. You’ll develop your study skills and learn to manage data through regular field and laboratory experiences.

This is an excellent alternative route to degree-level study, with guaranteed entry onto the Biomedical Science BSc (Hons) course when you successfully complete your Foundation Year. Our excellent teaching staff, open-door policy and Personal Academic Tutoring scheme mean you’ll get all the support you need throughout your studies.

The Foundation Year has been carefully designed to build your confidence, develop your academic skills, and provide you with the subject knowledge you need to be successful in your undergraduate degree. The course has a strong practical focus, meaning you’ll also have regular access to our specialist facilities and equipment, supported by the University’s skilled technical staff. By the time you progress to degree-level study, you’ll be familiar with conducting field and laboratory work, and have a wider understanding of how science works in practice.

At Worcester, we foster a friendly and supportive learning environment. You’ll get to know your fellow students through regular group work opportunities, and as a member of our School of Science and the Environment, you’ll be eligible to join our Biology and Biomedical Science societies.
