Location of University Campus Suffolk
This exciting degree course aims for students to develop an understanding of the complexity and diversity of life processes through the study of a range of modules including molecular biotechnology, immunology, cell biology and biochemistry, and developmental biology.
It explores cutting edge developments including stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Modules such as science communication and ethics and bioentrepreneurship and business bring a strong vocational focus to the degree. The course therefore provides an excellent background for further study and will be particularly suited to those who are interested in an interdisciplinary approach to biology.
The Foundation Year provides a route for those who lack the required qualifications for the three year programme. The aim of the Foundation Year is to provide students with the subject knowledge, study skills and personal confidence to succeed at degree level in a bioscience subject. This year provides a supportive route to degree level study for students from a wide variety of educational and working backgrounds.
Contents
Foundation year consists of six modules delivered over two semesters and is assessed at the end of each semester. The course is delivered over three days each week. Modules studied include: Biophysical Science, Biological Basis for Life, Communication and Study Skills, Health and Nutrition, Human Biological Systems and Mathematics for Bioscience.
BSc (Hons) modules include: Cell Biology and Biochemistry, Introduction to the Genome, Human Physiology and Biomeasurement, Immunology, Molecular Biotechnology, Developmental Biology, Science Communication and Ethics, Regenerative Medicine, Bioentrepreneurship and Business and a research based Dissertation.
There is an optional work-based experience module in the second year which enables students to utilise and develop their skills within a relevant work environment. This is an excellent opportunity for students to enhance their employability skills and career prospects.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
