Medical Sciences (Foundation Entry), BSc (Hons)
This three-year course offers a foundation stage for the Medical Sciences degree, with the possibility of applying to progress to our Medicine (MBBS) programme, integrated Masters in Physician Associate Studies, MPharm (Hons)**, Biomedical Sciences, Adult Nursing, Mental Health Nursing, Children's Nursing and Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy*** programmes after the first year. International students will be taught during year 1 at our Westlakes Campus in Whitehaven and UK students will be taught at the UCLan Burnley Campus, Victoria Mill. Following year 1, students continuing with BSc Medical Sciences will continue to study at the Burnley campus and students on other programmes will transfer to the Preston Campus.
It is important to note that whilst there is the opportunity to apply for Medicine MBBS at UCLan after one year on the BSc Medical Science (Foundation Entry), this is not a guaranteed progression route and there is no guarantee of an interview for the MBBS. Application to MBBS is a very competitive process.
The School of Medicine wishes to increase access to medical education and support the development and sustainability of regional workforce. The MBBS is open to international students and limited number of UK students. Weighting will be given to UK Widening Participation students wishing to apply for MBBS
