These range from Art and Design, through Humanities, Business and Management to Computing, Engineering and, of course, Science. The School of Sciences, which runs this four year degree programme, is comprised of the Divisions of Biology, Geography, Natural Sciences and Psychology. Other Schools within the University collaborate to provide our wide range of degree course options. The Foundation Year is delivered over two sixteen-week semesters. The course is modular in structure with six modules studied each semester.
All modules are compulsory.
In each semester modules in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Science, Study Skills and Mathematics are studied. This allows the student to obtain the breadth of expertise and flexibility expected as a foundation to our science degree scheme. The School of Sciences administers a range of science degree courses within the University's modular framework. Syllabuses are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that they are fully relevant to current work in each field of study and that each course is designed to launch you fully equipped for a scientific career in the twenty-first century. The degrees are modular and credit based.
