This is a short cycle qualification of two years that is linked to (or within) first cycle qualifications, intended to equip learners with the skills and knowledge relevant to employment. Also at its core is the notion that they should support widening participation by providing an unequivocal progression route to a bachelor’s degree. This programme is designed in collaboration with QUB and the content of a Foundation Degree can accurately reflect the early content of BSc in Biomedical Science and Human Biology.

• Genetics

Further modules provide a sound background to other fundamental areas of Sciences that will provide the foundations of general scientific knowledge moving forward. This Foundation Degree, has a compulsory work based learning element which will allow successful students to apply to become registered Science Technicians.
