Undergraduate Foundation Pathway in Health and Life Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biomedical Sciences

LBIC offers University Foundation Studies for candidates who do not meet the direct entry criteria or hold high school qualifications that are not recognised. Upon successful completion of the pathway programme students will progress onto Brunel University London. The human body runs on complex internal processes, with cells and organs functioning in incredible ways to make us who we are. But, what happens when our health is compromised? This dynamic biomedical sciences degree is perfect for those with a fascination of how we work and how we treat human diseases.

At Brunel, they understand that interest in biomedical sciences at this stage may be very broad and perhaps students are not yet ready to specialise. For this reason, at Brunel they have made their Biomedical Sciences BSc flexible. As students continue through their degree, they can pick their own options and tailor their course to fit their interests. Students can even switch over to a specialist pathway in the second year so there's no need to feel pressurised to commit to a specialist area yet.

The Royal Society of Biology has awarded its accreditation to all of Brunel’s biomedical sciences undergraduate programmes. This means students can be confident that this Biomedical Sciences BSc will prepare them for the working world – and prospective employers will know this too. Graduates will receive a one year’s membership as an Associate Member, integrating them into the sector with access to key contacts and up-to-date knowledge.

In the final year of this programme students have the opportunity to contribute to Brunel's research programmes in cellular and biochemical pathways, the regulation of gene expression, DNA repair and immunological responses to microbial infection. This will give students first-hand experience of real-world laboratory research and prepare them for their future career.
