PSB Life Science Foundation

Course Overview Life Sciences is more than just test-tubes and men in white coats. It is a fascinating multidisciplinary field of study which involves exciting research, designing and executing groundbreaking experiments to perhaps develop new products (medicines, perfumes, even new types of foods) and processes.
If you have imagined yourself as say, the discoverer of a cure for AIDS, then this course is the first step you should take to realising that dream.
Don’t have a background in life sciences for the Bachelor of Science programme? This course bridges just that gap. It aims to:
• Give a solid foundation in Chemistry, Biology and Maths to non life-science trained students wishing to make a career in life sciences and biotechnology
• Support management professionals by giving them fundamental knowledge in this subject
• Prepare students for new career opportunities in this area.
This course also allows you to make a smooth transition to any of our many Psychology
programmes.
