This Health Sciences (with Foundation Year) course provides a broad understanding of the physiology of the body’s major systems as well as human health and disease. This course covers the cause, diagnosis and treatment of human disease from a multidisciplinary and evidence-based perspective. This course includes an integrated foundation year – ideal for those who do need additional preparation in the fundamental sciences and/or if haven’t sufficient tariff points to join Year 1 of the degree directly. Apart from the foundation year, the remainder of this degree is identical to the BSc (Hons) Health Sciences and leads to the same level award. By studying nutrition, physiology and epidemiology, students will explore how humans change over the lifespan, adapt to external stressors, and how lifestyle can have an impact on health over an individual’s lifespan. Students will research and identify potential therapeutic and clinical strategies to reduce the effect of these risk factors on disease states. Alongside this, students will develop skills for employability including good laboratory practice, control of substances hazardous to health (COSHH) assessments, health and safety policies, Human Tissues Act, quality assurance and patient care. This course is delivered in partnership between the School of Science, Engineering & Design and the School of Health & Social Care.
