为了使学生为获得生物医学学位做好准备，我们的预科课程提供了基础的但必不可少的生物学和化学原理的基础知识。如果您对生物医学科学感兴趣或希望进入相关职业，但目前没有进入我们三年制课程的必要科学背景，那么这是理想的选择。生物医学科学计划将提供病理学，医学遗传学和疾病管理的当前和发展领域的多学科视角。该计划将为学生提供有关人类健康和现代诊断中重要疾病的科学知识的广泛基础。
To prepare students for our Biomedical Sciences and Medical Sciences degrees, 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, youll get a thorough grounding in a variety of topics that underpin degrees in the field of medical sciences. It is an ideal course if you have an interest in Biomedical Sciences and Medical Sciences or a desire to enter a related career but do not currently have the necessary scientific background to enter our 3 year programme.<br>The Foundation Year is also designed to prepare students for our other undergraduate degree programmes, B100 Medical Sciences and there is the possibility to transfer onto one of these programmes, subject to successfully passing the Foundation Year.<br>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. Youll 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.<br>Placement Year and International Experience Year Available<br><br>Careers<br>Our Foundation Year allows you to access our BSc Biomedical Sciences, BMedSci Medical Sciences and BSc Medical Biology programmes (subject to meeting the programme specific requirements), with your final decision being made before the start of the second year.<br>With integrated scientific knowledge and key skills such as critical appraisal, communication and problem solving, our graduates have high employability in medical science-based areas. In recent years our alumni have pursued careers in the pharmaceutical industry, medical research, food science, public health, the armed forces, the teaching profession, and forensic science, to name but a few of the many options available.<br>Internships and work experience are encouraged and supported during your degree, to help you gain an insight into the world of work and give you a competitive edge. We offer the opportunity to take short work placements (over a summer holiday) or year-long 'sandwich placements, with all our degree programmes. Many of our students are interested in careers within a clinical environment and enter postgraduate training to become Physician Associates, Radiographers, Paramedics, Physiotherapists, and other allied health professionals. Students who want to pursue an advanced research career in academia or industry will be ideally placed for MSc and PhD programmes and for research positions within the NHS (including the NHS Scientist Training Programme). Recent BMedSci graduates have gone onto MSc courses in Cardiovascular Science, Neuroimaging, Psychology, Infectious Disease Control and Health Promotion.
