Human beings are complex and fascinating. In an age when there is so much discovery transforming our approach to medicine, genomics, stem cells and lifestyle, this course offers a real opportunity to have an important impact on the world.
The course is suitable if you donÕt meet the entry requirements for our BSc (Hons) Human Biology course, or you want extra preparation before starting degree-level study. You share the first year with other biosciences and chemistry foundation year students, then move on to the degree.
Attending and participating in the laboratory activities is central to your course, as it's where you develop not only practical skills, but also learn to keep effective records, analyse data, design and plan procedures as well as working both independently and with others.
You learn through:
- core lectures
- laboratory work
- small group academic tutorials
In the foundation year, youÕll attain the academic and practical skills required for level 4 study. YouÕll build your confidence in biology, chemistry and maths, and apply your theoretical knowledge in practical lab sessions. YouÕll also familiarise yourself with Sheffield HallamÕs staff and facilities Ñ ensuring that youÕre fully prepared to begin as an undergraduate.
