Course summary

Foundation Year Our Foundation Year provides an excellent alternative route to Keele, providing a unique opportunity to better prepare for your chosen degree, and with guaranteed entry onto your undergraduate course once you successfully complete your Foundation Year. This extra year of study can improve your academic skills, expand your subject knowledge, give you a better understanding of higher education and, perhaps most importantly of all, build your confidence. On the Keele Foundation Year, you'll study on campus, joining our undergraduate community from the outset, with access to all the facilities and support that you'd get as an undergraduate student at Keele. International Students For International Students, Foundation Years are delivered through our dedicated on-campus provider, Keele University International College.

Our Royal Society of Biology accredited programme explores two intrinsically linked scientific areas of study to provide you with a grounding in the key principles of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, and neuropathology, whilst also investigating cognitive neuroscience, human social interaction and lifespan development. During the programme you will receive research training in experimental design, practical techniques and data analysis. This will culminate in the opportunity to undertake a final year research project (laboratory or computer based) under expert guidance of our Neuroscience teaching staff.
