Health Foundation Year
Why study this course?
The course will provide you with the requisite science 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 is tailored to the student’s chosen degree
route.
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.
