About

If you have the potential to study at degree level, but you don’t meet the entry requirements, a foundation year can bridge the gap – laying the groundwork for entry into Year 1.

The modules you’ll study are designed to build your confidence and bring you up to speed for the rest of your chosen degree. So, as well as the Academic Practice modules, which help develop your study skills for learning at degree-level, you’ll also do three humanities modules.

Once you have successfully passed your foundation year you will progress directly onto Year 1 of your linked honours degree.

For information on other language courses with a foundation year, please see:

Course information

All humanities foundation year students study the Academic Practice 1 and 2 modules which will help you to develop the academic and study skills required for degree-level work. You will also study modules in Approaches to English, Modern Britain Since 1945 and Understanding the Language of Culture.

Teaching is delivered via a range of methods including lectures, seminars, tutorials and, where appropriate, practical workshops, PC lab sessions, and online learning.

Successful completion of the foundation year guarantees automatic progression onto Year 1 of the degree you have chosen to study.
