Do They Accept Your Foundation Year? Physiotherapy is pretty competitive, and most unis want specific qualifications like A-levels in Biology or Chemistry. Your foundation year in Applied Biosciences might work, but it depends on the university. Some might prefer a health sciences foundation year. The best thing to do is email or call the unis you’re interested in and ask if they’d accept it.
