Biomedical Sciences with Integrated International Foundation Programme - BSc (Hons)

University of Warwick

This integrated four-year route combines Year 0 of the International Foundation Programme with Warwick's degree in Biomedical Sciences. The International Foundation Programme provides a strong foundation in the core principles of biology and chemistry, helping students to develop the theoretical knowledge, practical laboratory skills, and analytical techniques required for scientific study at university.During Year 0, you will explore how living systems function at molecular and cellular levels, investigate chemical structures and reactions, and apply mathematical and statistical methods to interpret scientific data. You will gain hands-on experience in experimental design, laboratory practice, and data analysis, while also strengthening your ability to think critically, communicate effectively, and work collaboratively. By the end of this first year, students will have developed the academic foundations and be well prepared to progress Year 1 of BSc Biomedical Sciences.Biomedical Sciences is focused on understanding the biological basis of human health and disease, and is one of four degree courses taught by the School of Life Sciences. This course will appeal to those who are interested in how the human body works and how it can go wrong, as well as infectious diseases and the microorganisms that cause them.Biomedical Sciences involves the study of life processes in humans. The subject provides an understanding of the causes and consequences of human and animal disease, including infection, cancer and neurological decay. The application of new biological concepts in medicine is an ever-growing and exciting process. Developments in molecular, genetic and cellular biology research continue to drive progress in areas such as vaccine development, neurogenerative diseases and metabolic diseases.You will develop the hands-on lab, problem solving and research skills employer’s desire. If you are considering a career in medicine, we provide mentoring and support for medical school applications.
