Are you keen to study a science degree but don't have the required entry qualifications? Have you had a break from education and want to refresh your science skills? Would you like to change your career direction with a science degree? If so, this course is for you. You will have access to the expertise and resources of both Oxford Brookes University, which accredits the diploma, and Abingdon and Witney College where the teaching takes place. You will learn in a unique learning environment in which students get used to working with people from a broad range of backgrounds - very useful for your future studies and employment.

The Life Sciences Foundation develops your basic mathematical, scientific, communication and study skills. Once you have successfully completed this stage you can proceed to Year 1 of your chosen honours degree in life sciences. When you arrive, you will be asked to indicate which area of science you intend to study for your degree. The decision you make at this stage will not commit you. If your interests change during the foundation course, you can still be accepted on to our other science courses. To complete your foundation stage you must pass all eight module credits. Your foundation project gives you the opportunity to investigate a topic in your chosen degree discipline. Doing this will demonstrate that you have the necessary independent learning skills.
