Program overview
What Canterbury Christ Church University says about their program:
A foundation year helps you develop the study skills and self-confidence needed for higher education when you don’t reach the entry requirements for your subject.
If you're interested in studying the structure and function of the human body along with elements of sport and exercise physiology, then this is the course for you.
Our degree provides a unique blend of fundamental biology integrated with aspects of sport and exercise science. You’ll study normal human form and function as well as the processes that occur during the development of disease.
Throughout your course, you’ll study many different topics, including genetics, biochemistry and molecular biology, and have the opportunity to get involved with ongoing research relevant to the field of human biology.
You'll develop strong practical skills through extensive lab work, including sessions at our Life Sciences Industry Liaison Lab located on Kent's leading science business park, Discovery Park. Here you'll be surrounded by scientists involved in research and development in the life sciences industries and you'll be able to gain valuable experience to help your CV stand out from the crowd.
The variety of modules you take will help you to build a holistic view of the physiological processes that define human form and function, both at rest and in exercise, and explore the changes that occur during the development of disease.
We know employers are looking for dynamic, open-minded graduates who can adapt, innovate, and collaborate. This is why we have designed a new way of teaching and learning to ensure that you are work-ready for when you graduate
