BSc Neuroscience with Foundation Year

Course overview

This four-year BSc in Neuroscience at the University of Central Lancashire begins with a foundation year, offering students a strong grounding in biological and psychological sciences before moving into full degree-level study. During the foundation year, they will build essential practical and theoretical science skills in areas such as chemistry, biological sciences and mathematics, which prepare you for the degree programme.
