Applied bioscience foundation year at cov uni

Hi, so I’ve got a place at cov uni to study applied bioscience foundation year. The aim is to follow on to diagnostic radiography the following year. My first question is, is this the correct course to be taking to lead me onto it and my second question is, what open days are there for this year … and which location are they at?

Are you intending to continue studying DR at Coventry uni? If so, contact admissions and ask if the bioscience foundation year will get you onto their course. Please note that if this is not the case (ie you intend to study DR at another uni), then foundation years are not usually transferrable and a one-year Access to HE course might be a better (and cheaper) option for you.

@Coventry University Student Ambassadors might be able to help with your other questions.

Is anyone able to help advise about what the timetable for this course is like? I've tried calling the student engagement team but they haven't been able to help as the timetable comes out at the end of August.
I know it will differ each year but just wondering if you are generally in uni each day for this course or whether there is normally a day where you aren't on site? I am hoping to carry on working 1 day a week so just wondered if this might be possible or not. Thanks for any advice.

Hey, Coventry University Student Ambassador here! 👋
Unfortunately, timetabling does come closer to the start of term, but from my course, software engineering, we were on campus maybe three days a week. Some days we would have a 2-hour slot in the morning and that was it, some had an evening slot, and if you're unlucky, you might have one in the morning and one in the evening. I'm almost certain you'd have at least one or two days with no classes, and I'm sure you could fit in a part-time job like many of the students here! I worked as a barista during my studies as well as an ambassador! Hope it helps 😄

Hi,
Thanks so much for your reply. That's really helpful and really appreciate your insight about it, thank you. Looks hopeful that I'll be able to carry on working then!
