Program details

Overview

The BSc in Health and Human Sciences pairs a one-year foundation year with a full undergraduate degree. The course explores how culture, biology, society and health intersect, developing knowledge and understanding in each area. Places on this route are aimed at students from under-represented groups who have real potential but have experienced educational disadvantage or disruption, so they do not yet meet the usual entry requirements. Academic tutors from the university's Centre for Academic Development deliver the foundation year and prepare students for Level 1 study. Eligibility criteria apply, and course details for 2027 entry are subject to change, so applicants should check the official page for the latest information. The foundation year prepares students for the transition to undergraduate study.
