This course will help form and develop a strong, practiced bedrock of knowledge in the fascinating field of Biological Sciences.Taking the offered foundation year programme will help solidify your relevant topic knowledge, practicing fundamentals of Bioscience and Healthcare Science alongside transferrable communication, study and mathematics skills, all of which will be further built upon over concurrent years in practical-focused study, employing the University’s state-of-the art Rosalind Franklin building under informed, enthusiastic supervision.By the time of your graduation, you will be equipped to enter a variety of professions, many of which you may directly prepare for through specialisation during your course.The structure of this course will provide you with fundamental subject knowledge, integrating technical, practical, problem solving and career relevant aspects of study into the curriculum. Your eventual qualification will open up a number of options for employment and higher education, for which the material taught and skills earned throughout your course will more than sufficiently prepare you. By taking the foundation year, you will have additional time to enforce your core skills and inform your topical awareness, allowing you to deftly advance through university education.Foundation year modules are oriented around introducing topics this course is concerned with – an overview of biology as a subject, career opportunities in the Healthcare Science field, problem solving within science and engineering disciplines – thereby granting you a crucial groundwork for ongoing study. In addition to this relevant subject knowledge, the programme will strengthen transferrable skills crucial to several fields of employment, honing your reading, study, written and oral communication skills, as well as the basic level of mathematics necessary for the subject. Following this, your next year of study will more broadly inform you on specialised topics in biological sciences which will be expanded upon throughout the rest of your course, where you will be given options to select your preferred specialisations according to your desired career path.Your studies will make use of the resources present at Wolverhampton City Campus, in particular its prestigious Rosalind Franklin building; its hosting of cell growing and fermentation facilities among other state-of-the-art laboratories fuelling this course’s emphasis on practical application for your research. You will work with experienced teachers and researchers with crucial understandings of graduate opportunities in science industries, further encouraging your individual growth into careers of your choosing. Assessments also reflect this approach, particularly your Honours research project within your preferred specialism, which you will complete in your final year.This course is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology
