Introduction to health science at City University of London

Hi! I'll be studying the Introduction to Health Science course at City Uni 2020 and I was wondering if anyone else on here was? Would like to get to know a few people at least before starting, it would make it a lot less stressful.

Hi there,
I m applying for the introduction to health science foundation this year with the aim of radiography afterwards.
Is there any physics involve in the course?
I am a mature student , been away from study long time , need to catch up for some of the modules.

Hello,
so far we have done mainly core biology topics but there might be some basic physics regarding radiation next term. The science isn’t difficult in the foundation year but next year the radiography course definitely has some physics but don’t worry I heard it’s manageable 👍🏼

Thanks for the reply , I have submitted my ucas form , did you have any interview to go to foundation year.
My gcse and A level certificate are from overseas as I have been away from study long time wanted to start from foundation. Did you provide any English language certificate to them?

No there wasn’t an interview,
I’m a uk student so I just had to submit my GCSE and A level grades
But if you have English language gcse then u don’t have to submit another certificate , gcse is enough. However u should check with the admissions team just in case

Hey, does successfully completing the health science course year allow you to automatically get into the radiography degree at city without having to apply through ucas for example or interviewing?

Hi jannah, yes if you pass one year of the foundation course you’ll be guaranteed a place to study your chosen area of speciality next year @city without going through ucas. But I think they do invite you for an interview still

Hi, I'm looking to do this course. Would you say it's worth doing and is there a specific percentage you need to progress onto the radiography course.

hey, you need to get at least 40% on each module, with no failed modules, and attendance has to be over 80%. ALSO, if everything is perfect but you do not pass your interview, then you will not pass onto your chosen course.

Sure, here is a grammatically correct version of your message:
Not sure if anyone on this thread is still active, but I'm looking to apply for the Introduction to Health Sciences course through UCAS Extra as I don't think I've met the grade requirements for Speech and Language Therapy. If anyone did this course at City, how did it go? Did you have to do an interview when you applied for the course? And are you now studying for your BSc in the course you wanted?

Hi Jannah , have you applied for the introduction to health sciences foundation course?
And was it successful to get into the radiography degree ? As I am thinking of following the same path..

Hello,
City St George's has a foundation course especially for Radiography. It's the Introduction to Diagnostic and Therapeutic Radiography course. It lasts one year and provides an introduction to clinical and professional healthcare. If you successfully complete it, you can progress onto Radiography BSc later ⁠

.
You can take a look at it in the specific webpage for more details. And good luck ⁠

Hello, thank you for the help, however I tried to look into ucas for the diagnostic and therapeutic radiography foundation course and did not seem to find any vacancies and so I’ve resulted to applying for the introduction to health sciences foundation course instead..
