2-Term Undergraduate Foundation Pathway in Life and Medical Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Molecular Biology

Program Description

HIC offers University Foundation Studies for candidates who do not meet the direct entry criteria or hold high school qualifications that are not recognised. Upon successful completion of the pathway programme students will progress onto the University of Hertfordshire.

Now that scientists can read and change DNA sequences, a new era has arrived in which it’s possible to investigate organisms at their most fundamental level. That means we have the opportunity to find pioneering ways to prevent or find cures for genetic diseases, such as cystic fibrosis and cancer. It could even help us discover more about our origins and who we really are.

This course will give students the specialist theoretical knowledge and practical experience of gene manipulation and the analysis of nucleic acids and proteins. It will also show them how this can be applied to the study of health, disease and the natural environment. This degree is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology.
