Foundation Degree: Applied Science (Biomedical Science)

General information

Please note that to apply for this as a full-time higher education course you must apply through UCAS and for part-time directly to the University of Greenwich. Unfortunately the College cannot accept online applications for HE courses.

The Foundation Degree in Biomedical Science is a two-year full-time programme or three-year part-time programme, which has been designed in collaboration with the University of Greenwich and employers to provide students with the skills required for working in relevant laboratories.

The programme is closely linked with the corresponding degree pathway of the University of Greenwich, and successful students may transfer to the final year of the BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science programme at the University.
