Bachelor of Science (hons) in Biomedical Science with Foundation Year Global University Systems (GUS) - Canterbury Christ Church University - Canterbury Campus, UK

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.

Start your journey in biomedicine with a BSc Biomedical Science degree at Canterbury Christ Church University. Taking an inter-disciplinary approach, you’ll interact with multiple scientific areas before specialising in your final year.

With a huge emphasis on practice, our course in biomedical science will introduce you to a range of vitals skills needed for various sectors. From diagnostic techniques to blood group testing, you’ll start to build an evidenced portfolio, illustrating your skills, knowledge and understanding.

As the course progresses, the practical elements of this degree will always equate to over half of the course structure. You’ll then focus on your chosen area in your final year. Not only will you become a competent and confident biomedical scientist, you’ll do so using research-based, up-to-date theoretical knowledge. Whatever route you choose to take, you’ll learn using an interactive, multi-disciplinary approach to ensure you gain a rich learning experience while you’re with us at CCCU.

You’ll also interact with professionals through our career’s fairs and partnership with Discovery Park. Many of our teaching staff are active in their industry and have worked with companies such as Mylan and Genea. You can too, through our work placement module and work experience opportunities through the collaborative scientific community at Discovery Park, Sandwich.

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. Our 2026 course will reflect this new approach. The 2026 course page will be made live shortly.
