The course is modular in structure; half of the science foundation year is made up of core compulsory modules that include: information technology, communication and mathematical skills; students also study 3 modules from: biology; forensic science; chemistry; earth science; and psychology; the 1st year of the programme is undertaken at the College main site in Stafford with the following 3 years at the University site at College Road, Stoke-on-Trent; during the 1st year applicants develop the appropriate skills and techniques required to pursue more specialised science courses at a higher level; it is assumed that applicants entering the course may have only a limited knowledge of science and so care is taken to cover topics from a basic level during the early stages.
