Foundation Year Programs in Bioscience

A foundation year is an introductory program designed to get students ready for a full-time university degree program. Most schools do not require students participate in this program, but it can be very beneficial. Typical foundation year programs are completed in one academic year.

What is a foundation year in bioscience? It is a preparatory field of study focused on life sciences and the skills needed to succeed at a university level. Students wanting to enter undergraduate programs focused on anatomical sciences, biochemistry, biology or another life science may start with this foundation year. The exact courses required for the program can vary from school to school but may include introduction to biosciences, principles of lab classes, tips for notetaking and studying for beginners. Many programs combine lectures, seminars and lab work to help scholars learn.

A foundation year is beneficial because it can prepare students for the challenges of an undergraduate degree. Many participants improve their time management, communication and organization skills. These abilities can be used throughout college, in careers and even in personal lives.

Universities may have a set cost for a foundation year program, but two schools rarely have the same tuition. Location, program duration and mode of class can affect how much students pay. Applicants may be able to get estimates by contacting a specific school.

A foundation year in bioscience can lead the way to a meaningful career, as scholars use this education as a stepping stone for more learning. Students can enter into Bachelor of Science programs or other undergraduate degree programs. After completing a degree, graduates may go on to become audiological scientists, clinical biochemists, embryologists, molecular geneticists, oceanographers or research scientists. The exact careers available depend on students’ final degrees.
