Course is subject to validation.
This course is closed for applications for September 2023 but remains open for new applications for September 2024 intake.
The Foundation Year provides students with a solid foundation in academic skills and science-related disciplines; instilling knowledge and practical skills that will prepare them for the BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science. The course is structured such that all S1 modules are shared across all BSc with foundation year programmes in the School of Applied Sciences. Students who wish to change programme at the end of S1 can do so through consultation with the course director of both their parent programmes and the programme they wish to change too. This is subject to approval by both Course Directors and successfully passing all S1 modules.
The course will develop academically confident “level 4 ready” students through the provision of a supportive learning environment at Foundation Level that nurtures the development of the theoretical knowledge, academic and practical skills necessary to successfully study the BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science. It will introduce the student to critical reflection, analytical and problem solving and strategic thinking in a broad context at Foundation Level and develop the academic and scientific knowledge skills and competencies necessary to promote success in degree level study of Biomedical Science. It will also enhance student employability through the embedding of a cohesive blend of professional and academic skills whilst simultaneously providing career support and making available opportunities for problem-based learning, volunteering and engaging in extra-curricular activities at university and beyond and deliver a future-fit curriculum at Foundation level that is aligned to the BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science.
Why Biomedical Science at LSBU?
- check-circle
- The Biomedical Science course is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) ensuring adherence to high standards recognition within the field.
- medkit
- Our team is very diverse with backgrounds encompassing research, clinical practice, industry, and education. This diversity offers students a comprehensive range of knowledge and guidance, assisting them in making well-informed decisions about their future careers early in the course.
- link
- We take pride in our strong connections with diverse stakeholders, including the NHS; research, and industry. This enables us to facilitate year-long placements for students enrolled in the 4-year course (with placement) if they wish.
- heart
- At the heart of our teaching methodology is a student-centered approach that caters to individual needs. The educational experience for our students is characterised by high interactivity, providing a personalised learning environment.
The course provides an integrated approach towards understanding and in-depth knowledge of human health and disease, with embedded employability skills to meet the HCPC standards of proficiency. Students will acquire knowledge, intellectual and practical skills to understand human disorders and means of disease diagnosis and treatment through laboratory testing.
A distinctive feature of the course is that it introduces the students to state-of-the-art tools used in precision medicine, such as bioinformatics, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and high-throughput drug screening geared towards molecular target identification and targeted therapeutics. Furthermore, students will be trained to apply their knowledge to offer solutions and to develop opportunities in a wide range of clinical settings and industries that require a broad understanding of biomedical science.
We have applied for accreditation for this course by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) and expect to confirm this for September 2022.
