Applied Biosciences with foundation year

About this programme

Applied biosciences explores life at all levels from chemicals, molecules and cells to organ systems, laying the foundation for a career in human health and disease. The foundation year course offers an introduction to your chosen subject and helps you develop the necessary skills for degree-level study. It aims to provide an understanding of cell biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, health and disease. The course aims to provide you with a solid grounding for building a career in the health and bioscience sectors. The course aims to develop autonomous scientists of the future - so you will know where and what to look for as you face scientific challenges throughout the course. Bioscientists work all over the world in a wide variety of jobs and careers that require knowledge and application of science, from research to business and from regulation to teaching (The Science Council 2019). Settings include research and development laboratories (for example microbiology, marine science and immunology), biotechnology companies, classrooms, sales representatives and the food and drink industry. Learn about CU Coventry's Manjit Kaur how her love for Biosciences grew and who inspired her. The first year explores essential concepts such as chemistry, cell and molecular biology, microbiology and anatomy and physiology. You will also learn to use scientific vocabulary. The practical aspect focuses on vital laboratory skills specific to the subject which includes the safe use of complex equipment, report writing and the development of accurate lab skills.
