If you don't meet the requirements for an undergraduate healthcare degree, our Health Sciences with a Foundation Year could be for you.
Tutors on our one-year foundation programme will help you develop your knowledge and understanding in bioscience. You will also consider different issues that can impact health, including health psychology, as well as considering the professional skills required for a career in healthcare. You will also develop your research, academic reading, writing, critical thinking, and communication and scientific skills to prepare you for the next level of study.
After successfully completing the foundation year, you'll receive a Foundation Certificate in Health Sciences (FCert). This will support your application to study healthcare at degree level, at the University of Nottingham or elsewhere.
University of Nottingham healthcare degrees you can progress onto include Adult, Mental Health or Child Nursing, Midwifery, Physiotherapy, Sport Rehabilitation and Health Promotion and Public Health.
Please note: If you meet the entry requirements for our BSc Midwifery; BSc Nursing; BSc Sport Rehabilitation or BSc Physiotherapy course, you are not eligible to apply for this foundation course.
