Animal Behaviour and Welfare with Science Foundation Year BSc (Hons)

Students on all foundation programmes study a combination of core and subject specific modules during the first year as part of an integrated degree programme. The combination of modules studied is tailored to the needs of the full degree programme that students wish to progress onto after successful completion of the foundation year. Students study a core module at the start of the programme, which aims to introduce key study skills required for further study. Students also study three further modules which introduce fundamental aspects of specific areas of science and mathematics relevant to the chosen foundation year programme. Students will also study an integrative module which is aligned to the full degree programme which students wish to progress onto upon successful completion of the Science Foundation Year. Following successful completion of the Science Foundation Year, students will then progress onto the first undergraduate year of their chosen degree programme. This means students will study for a total of four years for a standard degree, or five years if they take an integrated Master’s degree. Students’ final awards upon graduating will reflect the full course title, for example “BSc Zoology with Science Foundation Year”.
