BSc Biological Sciences (Including Foundation Year) University of Essex

Program Description

Our BSc Biological Sciences (including foundation year) will be suitable for you if your academic qualifications do not yet meet our entry requirements for the three-year version of this course and you want a programme that improves your skills to support your academic performance. This four-year course includes a foundation year (known as Year Zero) which is delivered by our Essex Pathways Department, followed by a further three years of study in our School of Life Sciences. During Year Zero, you study three academic subjects relevant to your chosen course as well as a compulsory academic skills module, with additional English language for non-English speakers. After successful completion of Year Zero, you progress to complete your course with our School of Life Sciences. In your three years with our School of Life Sciences you will cover the breadth of biology from molecules and cells, to whole organisms and ecosystems. You'll discover how new developments in technology are driving current research, with research-based teaching delivered by leading scientists investigating global biological challenges.
