To prepare students for our Biomedical Science degree, our Foundation Year provides the basic, but essential understanding of biological and chemical principles that underpin the field. During your foundation year, as well as gaining practical laboratory skills and developing your academic skills, you’ll get a through grounding in a variety of topics that underpin degrees in the field of medical sciences with these subject areas being taught with a focus on how they relate to the field of medical sciences in particular. It is an ideal course if you have an interest in Biomedical Science or a desire to enter a related career but do not currently have the necessary scientific background to enter our 3 year programme. The Foundation Year is also designed to prepare students for our other undergraduate degree programmes, B100 Medical Sciences, and B103 Medical Biology and there is the possibility to transfer onto one of these programmes, subject to successfully passing the Foundation Year. Biomedical Science is concerned with the integration of a wide range of subjects that underpin the scientific investigation of human health and disease. This course is designed to give you an understanding of the biology of disease, including modern concepts and applications of biomedical science in the research, diagnosis, and treatment of clinical disorders. You’ll be encouraged and supported to assimilate knowledge from core biological sciences to develop skills in the more specialised biomedical disciplines of clinical biochemistry, cellular pathology, haematology, and medical microbiology. ‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.

For details of the modular structure, please see the course description on Bangor University's website.
