Microbiology (with Foundation Year)

University of Lancashire

On our BSc (Hons) Microbiology (Foundation Entry) course you’ll learn all about health and disease, developing your knowledge of how the human body functions and gaining the skills you need to progress to a full honours degree.

During the foundation year, we’ll equip you with the essential knowledge and understanding of theoretical and practical science skills you’ll need to succeed at degree level.We’ll support and encourage you to develop your critical thinking and gain the skills and confidence you need to thrive at University. Once you’re on this course, there’s no need to make an additional application and you won’t have to attend an interview to progress to Year 1 of our Microbiology degree (entry requirements apply).Throughout the course, you’ll develop a range of laboratory-based and theoretical skills associated with sound scientific practice. The skills you gain are perfect for anyone who aspires to work in diagnostic and pathology laboratories in hospitals and other medical institutions or work in areas such as toxicology.
