On average, students will undertake 21 (and up to 25) hours of classroom-based study per week. They will study the following modules: Chemistry for Life Sciences, Biology for Life Sciences, and Skills for Science.

Upon completion of this pathway program, candidates can enroll in a progression undergraduate degree at Birkbeck or apply to programs at other University of London partners including Royal Holloway, Queen Mary, The Royal Veterinary College, and Goldsmiths, as well as the University of Reading.
