About Foundation Pathway in Optometry, Medical and Life Science - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Zoology
Program Description
This undergraduate pathway will provide students with the necessary skills to begin studying at level 4 in courses related to Optometry, Medical Science and Life Sciences.
Students will be introduced to the core skills necessary to succeed in higher education, including thinking critically, researching and referencing appropriately, demonstrating appropriate numeracy and ICT skills, and communicating effectively verbally and in writing.
In addition to these fundamental study skills, students will be given an introduction to the various scientific disciplines underpinning the life sciences. Fundamental mathematical skills will be covered in order to support students’ other subjects and give them confidence in manipulating data.
Students will be introduced to molecular and cellular biology, and how these fields are applied to real-world investigations. Students will also study the biology of micro and macro organisms, with reference to both human and animal structures.
Students will be introduced to the core concepts of chemistry, with a particular focus on organic chemistry, and will also be given a grounding in the core principles of physics, applied to living organisms.
The Zoology BSc (Hons) course will see students joining the likes of Charles Darwin, Dian Fossey, Jane Goodall and David Attenborough in exploring and explaining the diversity of animals from all over the globe.
They will build an understanding and skill-set in anatomy and physiology, behaviour, genetics, ecology and evolution, and the importance of wildlife conservation.
As part of the studies, students will get the opportunity to learn hands-on zoology skills – with plenty of time in labs in Cambridge, as well as on field trips around the UK and beyond. Develop the scientific training and practical skills needed for a career in wildlife conservation, environmental consultancy or in zoos.
