Bioengineering (Regenerative Medicine) with Foundation Year

Foundation Year
Our Foundation Year provides an excellent alternative route to Keele, providing a unique opportunity to better prepare for your chosen degree, and with guaranteed entry onto your undergraduate course once you successfully complete your Foundation Year. This extra year of study can improve your academic skills, expand your subject knowledge, give you a better understanding of higher education and, perhaps most importantly of all, build your confidence. On the Keele Foundation Year, you'll study on campus, joining our undergraduate community from the outset, with access to all the facilities and support that you'd get as an undergraduate student at Keele.

International Students
For International Students, Foundation Years are delivered through our dedicated on-campus provider, Keele University International College. Applications for International Foundation Years are also handled by KUIC; please do not apply via UCAS as the University will not be able to process your application and you may still be charged the UCAS application fee.

Bioengineering (Regenerative Medicine)
Imagine being at the forefront of medical innovation, where you can help the human body heal and rebuild itself. Our Bioengineering (Regenerative Medicine) BSc combines cutting-edge science with real-world problem-solving. Working alongside our experts with access to state of the art laboratories, you will gain the transdisciplinary bioengineering know-how and practical skills to work on research, discovery and production of regenerative medicines.

Why choose this course?

• Learn from scientific pioneers with world-leading expertise in the field of bioengineering and regenerative medicine

• Access to state-of-the-art facilities including our Central Science Laboratories and David Attenborough Laboratories

• Benefit from a comprehensive programme of academic and professional development workshops to enhance your employability skills

• Engage with multiple forms of active learning including flipped-classrooms and audience response systems

• Attend seminars by scientists, clinicians or industry experts that are nationally and internationally recognised experts in the field

Our Bioengineering degree is an innovative programme that aims to develop aspiring bioengineers into a specialised workforce, that will respond to the future demands for regenerative therapeutic strategies.

The discipline integrates biochemical, molecular and cellular knowledge with engineering principles to design new types of advanced therapies to repair, replace and rejuvenate damaged or diseased tissues. In your first year of study you will gain a solid grounding in the core components of life, exploring cell biology, molecular science, and human anatomy.

Building on this knowledge, you'll explore more specialised topics like stem cell biology and tissue engineering. You'll learn how to work with biomaterials that can potentially rebuild damaged body parts and understand the complex world of molecular interactions.

About Keele
Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. Founded to meet the needs of a changing world, Keele has always had a pioneering vision to be a different kind of university.

We excel in both teaching and research, with some of the most satisfied students in England, and research that is changing lives for the better at a regional, national and global level.

Our beautiful 600-acre campus is one of the biggest in Britain – but all the most important services and facilities are on your doorstep, with accommodation, teaching spaces, facilities including a medical centre, sports centre and pharmacy, and a range of shops, eateries and entertainment venues – including the Students’ Union – clustered around the centre.
