Why study this course?
The course will provide you with the requisite scientific knowledge, enhance your
study skills and give you an introduction to the employability skills required by health
professionals. The Health Foundation Year is a well established and successful course
which offers progression onto the full range of health degrees at Keele.
The Health Foundation Year offers an opportunity for students to enter
a degree course in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences who do
not meet the necessary criteria for direct entry. This is often because they
have not studied the subjects required or because they have gained non-
traditional qualifications. The Health Foundation Year for Medicine route
is intended for under-represented groups meeting specific criteria. The
programme of modules has been designed in consultation with the Faculty
of Medicine and Health Sciences.
Indicative Modules
Each programme consists of a set of
modules that have been approved by
the relevant School of Health. You will
take a mixture of core skills modules
together with academic modules related
to your chosen degree programme.
What will this mean for my future?
Students apply and are interviewed for a specific health degree. A Health
Foundation Year allows progression to degree subjects within the Faculty
of Medicine and Health Sciences.
