Program Overview

International Foundation Year in Health Science

The International Foundation Year in Health Science is a preparatory academic programme designed for international students aspiring to pursue undergraduate degrees in a field of health science.

This foundation year equips students with essential knowledge and skills in subjects such as biology, mathematics, and English for academic purposes. You will study core modules, which are general skills subjects, and specialised modules tailored to your chosen area of study, all of which are important for your academic development.

Why study Health Science at Huddersfield?

  • Degrees typically include placements, such as clinical practice in local hospitals and NHS trusts, to gain practical experience in a real-world setting.
  • Access a range of specialist facilities, including a new £250m National Health Innovation Campus, a biomechanics laboratory, simulated children’s ward and physiotherapy practical rooms. 

Leading to: Mental Health Nursing BSc (Hons)

Mental health nursing involves working with people, their families, carers, and communities, all of whom may experience the impact of mental ill health. This could include people with formal diagnoses, such as psychosis, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders, as well as those who do not accept or recognise these diagnostic labels.

Mental health nurses work within the recovery framework to help people make sense of their own experiences; our nursing mental health course is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive as a healthcare professional.

Why study Mental Health Nursing BSc (Hons)

  • If you’re keen to enter the world of mental health nursing, this course could help open doors to a rewarding, lifelong career. It is designed to help you become a confident, competent, and compassionate nurse – and, following successful graduation, you’ll be eligible to apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), and work as a Registered Nurse in Mental Health.
  • Alongside building your theoretical knowledge in lectures and seminars, you’ll be able to focus on your practical skills through simulation and group work. On the course, you’ll practice and develop your skills through allocated clinical placements in a range of statutory, private, voluntary, and student-led service.
  • To enhance your learning, you’ll hear first-hand experiences and viewpoints from service users and carers, who are part of the Public Partnership Group. Our teaching staff rank in the top three in England for the proportion who hold doctorates, who have higher degrees, and hold teaching qualifications (HESA 2022), so you can be sure you’re learning from the best, too.
