Foundation Year Programs in Professional Life Sciences

A foundation year is an academic program often used by young or international students who need to develop better language and study skills prior to pursuing an undergraduate degree. Most full-time students only need a year to finish a foundation year program.

What is a foundation year in professional life sciences? It is a course of study focused on the general area of life sciences. Some programs may allow students to choose a focus, such as biochemistry, pharmacology or food science. As a foundation year, this program is also designed to give students the footing needed for more education at a university level. The exact courses included in this program may include introduction to professional life sciences, language skills, tips for notetaking or lab work 101.

Students who go through a foundation year program are often better prepared for the rigors of full-time schooling. Participants may develop important skills, such as communication, research and time-management. These skills not only help while in school but could improve scholars' ability to interact with co-workers, friends and family members.

Applicants may want to contact schools to get a cost estimate because there is no universal price. Tuition often depends on location, subject and duration.

What type of career can a foundation year in professional life sciences prepare graduates for? This depends in part on the education and professional experiences of the students. However, some people go on to become toxicologists, pharmacists, molecular biologists, marine biologists, biocomputer specialists, scientific researchers and medicinal advisers after finishing a foundation program. Many students study biology, chemistry or medicine after completing their foundation year.
