International Foundation Programme - Biological Sciences and Psychology

Our Biological Sciences and Psychology IFP is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills to be able to progress on to a range of related degree courses at university. You will consider the principles of Biology and Psychology, whilst also developing the relevant statistical analysis skills required in these subject areas.
Throughout the course you will have the opportunity to develop your communication and team-working skills - key skills required to be successful in your undergraduate degree as well as throughout your career.
Lectures are where all students on a module are together (this can be up to 100 students on the IFP), and the academic tutor introduces the topic of study. Seminars are much smaller groups (typically no more than 15 students), where you have the opportunity to explore a subject in more detail with your academic tutor and classmates. In your seminars, you will be expected to engage in discussions and debates around the subject matter.
