Job Description
BSc (Hons) Medical Biology Foundation Year Awarded by the University of Bolton
The BSc (Hons) Medical Biology with Foundation course gives a comprehensive understanding of human biology from a medical perspective, focusing on the causes of disease and the methods and technologies used to treat disease. The course also demonstrates key biotechnological principles and advancements pertinent to the medical technology, biomedical technology, and pharmaceutical job markets. The foundation year (Level 3) emphasizes the development of academic and study skills required for success in higher education and introduces the fundamentals of the science of biology.
In the second year (HE4), students will learn the fundamental aspects of human biology (from the molecular to the organ level) and will be introduced to the principles of scientific investigation. In the third (HE5) and fourth (HE6) years, students will build on these themes by examining them from a medical perspective, including the causes of disease and the methods and technologies used to treat disease. The use of technology in medical research will also be studied.
This course develops a solid understanding of human biology from a medical perspective, equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed for a career in biomedical science or preparing them for further study, including graduate-level entry into Medicine or Dentistry.
Minimum Requirements: 48 UCAS points (any subjects acceptable at Level 3; Biology, Chemistry, or other relevant science-related subjects preferred)
5 GCSEs at Grade C or above or grade 4 to 9 or equivalent, including English, Maths, and preferably Science
IELTS 6.0 with no less than 5.5 in any band
Attendance at a face-to-face interview is required.

Medical biologists are employed in healthcare, biotechnology, medical research, and pharmaceutical fields. Potential employment areas include hospital laboratories, health clinics, government agencies, charities, education, and sales. Graduates may also pursue higher-level studies in medicine or postgraduate qualifications. Those interested in a career in medicine may consider becoming a physician associate (PA), who works under the supervision of a doctor and performs tasks such as patient examination, diagnosis, and treatment. The University of Bolton's MSc Physician Associate Studies course is available to BSc (Hons) Medical Biology graduates with at least a lower second class (2.2) honours degree and takes only two years to complete.
