Taught by Xaverian College close to the University campus, the foundation year provides the necessary academic background in biology, chemistry and mathematics to prepare you for study on any one of our biosciences courses . There is also a complementary programme of tutorials, seminars and laboratory practicals at the main University campus.Successful completion of the foundation year allows you direct entry onto any of our three- or four-year degree courses.
