International Foundation Diploma in Applied Science is designed and offered as a pre-diploma course with pathway towards Higher National Diploma in Biomedical Science or Biotechnology or related fields. Programme Aims ™ Develop understanding of scientific theories relating to Chemistry and Biology ™ Acquire skils to conduct laboratory practicals and interpret the results Acquire academic study skills for undergraduate study in Science ™ Develop confidence and fluency in English language for academic purposes IFD (APS) 01 Chemistry for Biology IFD (APS) 02 Applied Biology IFD (APS) 03 Scientific Practical Techniques IFD (APS) 04 Statistics of Science IFD (APS) 05 ‘Academic Practice and Study Skills Biomedical Science Dee eR oe Rol ells Ae ale a ol eee mer Eee a ae mas may ee the organ, tissue, cell and sub cellular levels.developing Skills Modules Chemistry for Biology The module is designed to introduce the atom as the basic structure of matter. Importance of bonding patterns, chemical and physical characteristics of substances will be emphasised. Balanced chemical equations will be used to solve stoichiometric problems. Scientific Practical Techniques This module helps to develop the learner's practical skills in chemical techniques and guides the learner to carry out experiments, evaluate and interpret the results in scientific manner. Statistics of Science The module will enable the learner to gain and understand the principles and practice to perform statistical techniques to investigate scientific problems. eater Applied Biology This module will provide an introduction to the fundamentals of biology. The learners will study the structure and function of biological macromolecules, different types of human cells and tissues, anatomy of the human body, and its physiological functions. Study Skills The module aims to equip students with the fundamental academic expertise, including English for academic purposes and skills that underpin and support the technical areas of their specific programme of study. The module introduces tools for scientific academic research & writing. ‘On successful completion of International Foundation Diploma, students will progress on to Higher National Diploma in Biomedical Science or Biotechnology. Biotechnology Biotechnology is the practice of using plants, animals and micro organisms as well as biological processes to develop technologies and products that help ee oe fosNorthumbria | Degree Universi 8 Rees Pat way ESTAS BSc (Hons) PT) BCT Sees Final year Bieter aleial HND Ei rele) TUE CE EL i ) | Applied Science PCa cna oon Rn aecraiee i | EP PUT v E: bioscience@bms.lk 591, Galle Road, Colombo 6.
