Course summary

The Science Foundation Year can be your route onto a science degree at Southampton if you haven’t studied the necessary subjects to meet our direct entry requirements. If you can achieve ABB at A Level, or are a mature student with relevant skills and experience, then this course can be your way into the sciences. Our foundation year offers you a rapid introduction to biology, chemistry and mathematics, equipping you with the knowledge, skills and attributes that needed to go on and successfully meet the challenges of our three year, BSc Chemistry degree. You will develop your understanding of the principles on which the sciences are based and the mathematics underpinning the core science disciplines, which will enable you to apply scientific principles to solve problems. You will also undertake laboratory work and a variety of assignments to develop your critical thinking and problem solving. Successful completion of the year guarantees progression to the next stage of your degree.The Foundation Year is aimed at capable and motivated students who have not taken the typical A-level route or who have not studied the subjects required for direct entry to our degree courses, including mature or international students.
