Biology With Stem Foundation Year

About this course

Biology is the study of living systems at every scale, from the molecular mechanisms inside a cell to the dynamics of entire ecosystems. It is a discipline concerned with understanding life in all its complexity, and it underpins an enormous range of applied fields, from medicine and pharmacology to conservation, agriculture, and biotechnology. A grounding in biology develops not just factual knowledge but the scientific skills of observation, hypothesis-testing, data analysis, and the ability to engage with primary research. This four-year full-time programme at Edge Hill University begins with a STEM foundation year, which is designed to develop the transferable and subject-specific knowledge you need to progress to degree-level biology. The foundation year builds confidence and competence in scientific thinking, mathematics, and the practical skills that underpin laboratory science.
