The BSc (Hons) Practical Life Sciences provides a progression route for students completing the FdSc Practical life Sciences (or other relevant foundation degree in biological or laboratory science) wishing to build their skills, knowledge and understanding further to progress into the laboratory science sector. The course contains a balance of the knowledge requirements, along with the practical skill development through a theoretical delivery model, for students to work in the biological science industry at laboratory associate level/professional (or equivalent). The module content will support students to evidence the requirements to apply for professional registration as a registered scientist (RSci) building on previous registered science technician (RSciTech) status achieved through the FdSc Practical Life Science programme or building on existing skills held by the applicant. Students will study a range of laboratory linked modules and will complete their studies by completing a sector relevant project. The areas of study will provide a strong subject base and practical competence for either seeking related employment, progression within their current employer or going on to further study at level 7. The course will target students wanting to progress into an industry science career and those already employed in a biological scientist role wanting further training and development. Biological scientists can be employed in a variety of types of technical work, such as veterinary and biomedical diagnostics, nutrition, laboratory analysis, research and development, environmental impact analysis etc.
