"summary": "This course is for UK students only. International students should apply for the International Foundation Year.\n\nThis extended degree is a science conversion course designed for high-achieving students who wish to progress to a degree in a scientific discipline but haven’t taken the prerequisite science and mathematics subjects at A-level.\n\nThe foundation year is taught by expert academics, who are specialist foundation year practitioners based in the Lifelong Learning Centre (home to the University’s specialist teaching and support for mature, part-time and foundation year students). The Lifelong Learning Centre has extensive expertise in supporting learners with diverse learning and life experience. On successful completion of the foundation year, subject to meeting the specific requirements for progression, you'll advance onto your pre-agreed degree course at the University of Leeds.\n\nDuring the foundation year, you’ll receive an intensive introduction to the academic and life skills, qualities and techniques that are necessary for success as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) undergraduates.\n\nOur curriculum has a strong emphasis on digital literacy, ethics, and diversity. You’ll take compulsory modules in mathematics and a choice of sciences, to develop interdisciplinary knowledge and understanding of facts and principles across each of the scientific disciplines. You’ll also gain skills for scientific inquiry in practical, laboratory and field work.\n\nThere's a strong emphasis during the foundation year on helping you achieve your full potential and develop as independent, self-directed learner. Teaching is inclusive and supportive to make sure you're intellectually stretched. As a foundation year student you'll be part of the University from day one with all the experiences and opportunities that this offers.\n\nGroup sizes vary based on module choices, allowing you to engage actively and develop team-working skills with your peers. Methods of assessment during the foundation year will ensure you’re prepared for further study.\n\nPlease note, this course is not a progression route for those interested in studying medicine or healthcare - the appropriate course for this progression route is Interdisciplinary Science with Foundation Year.\n\n**Specialist facilities and support**\nThe Lifelong Learning Centre provides a supportive environment to enable you to progress to degree-level study. We’ll work with you during your foundation year to provide guidance and help to identify the degree pathway most appropriate for you.\n\nAs part of the BSc Studies in Science course, you'll have access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. In your foundation year, you’ll have several laboratory experiences where you’ll use some of the facilities within the schools you may progress onto.\n\nAs an LLC student, you’ll have access to dedicated study and social spaces that are designed to be welcoming and accessible. The areas in Beech Grove House and the Marjorie and Arnold Ziff Building (pictured below) offer computer access, reference books and the space to socialise and work with your peers.",
