Presentación

There are often very good reasons why able students may not have the appropriate A-levels/AS-levels to directly enter the first year of a science degree programme. If you find yourself in this position, the Preliminary Year at Cardiff University can provide you with the academic background you will need for a science degree.

Programa

The Preliminary Year programme includes modules in Biosciences, Chemistry, Maths and Physics. The particular modules studied depend on each student’s academic background and the requirements of their chosen degree subject, and will be agreed through discussion with staff at enrolment. The Preliminary Year is not normally a route for students who have failed to achieve the required grades in their A-levels. It is possible to study the Preliminary Year programme on a part-time basis over two or three years. The science and maths modules are taught in the daytime at Cardiff University.

Salidas profesionales

As a Cardiff Biology graduate, you can expect a wide range of career options. In the past, our graduates have gone into research and development posts with multinational companies (e.g. AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline) or research institutes (e.g. Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, MRC Medical Research Institute), teaching, and many non-biological areas such as management, accountancy and banking where employers are looking for well-educated people who can deal with qualitative and quantitative information and think on their feet.

In 2010, 89% of the School’s graduates were in employment or further study within six months of graduation while others were taking time out to travel etc. Employers included: universities and hospitals in the UK and overseas, local government departments, museums and organisations such as the BBC and National Museum of Wales. Career destinations included: assistant ecologist, laboratory researchers, lecturer, scientist and environmental scientist.
