Bachelor of Medical Science (Honours) - Medical Sciences with Foundation Year (B110)

Bangor University

The Bachelor of Medical Science (Honours) - Medical Sciences with Foundation Year course provides the basic, but essential understanding of biological and chemical principles that underpin the field. During students' foundation year, as well as gaining practical laboratory skills and developing their academic skills, they will get a thorough grounding in a variety of topics that underpin degrees in the field of medical sciences.

The Foundation Year is also designed to prepare students for other undergraduate degree programmes, B102 Bachelor of Science Biomedical Science, and it is possible to transfer onto one of these programmes, subject to successfully passing the Foundation Year.

The degree aims to provide a science programme, related to medicine, with strong professional research elements. They will receive a firm foundation of scientific teaching, considering human health and disease at a micro and macro level. This enables students to develop, integrate and apply their knowledge at the interface of scientific discovery and clinical practice.
