Overview 

This foundation-level programme prepares students for progression into an undergraduate degree focused on the biological and chemical processes underlying human health and disease. Delivered by Queen Mary University's academic staff, it builds the scientific literacy and laboratory-based reasoning required for advanced study in the biomedical sciences. The course equips learners with a strong grounding across biology, chemistry, and physical science ahead of degree-level study.

What You'll Learn

• Foundational biology concepts covering living organisms and biological systems

• Core principles of chemical science relevant to biomedical processes

• Physical science fundamentals that support experimental and analytical reasoning

• Mathematics applied to biological and chemical contexts

• Scientific communication skills for presenting technical findings clearly

• Broader problem-solving approaches drawn from engineering and scientific study

Learning Outcomes

 By the end of this programme, students will be able to explain core biological and chemical processes relevant to human health and disease, forming a foundation for biomedical study. They will have developed the mathematical competence and experimental reasoning needed to interpret scientific data with accuracy, alongside the communication skills to present complex findings clearly. These outcomes will prepare graduates to enter the first year of a BSc in Biomedical Sciences with the scientific grounding and study discipline the degree demands.
