    About

    We recognise that there are many routes to success at degree level. Our Foundation Year in Built Environment specifically caters for those who lack the traditional entry qualifications to join the first year of a geography or environmental science degree.

    The foundation year has the benefit of being part of the extended degree. It gives you access to a range of activities and staff on the degree programme that you will continue your studies with.

    The Foundation Year in Built Environment is taught at the University and you'll have access to all its facilities.

    You'll develop practical, technical and communication skills, and apply knowledge to real-life problems.

    The foundation year provides a supportive environment in which you can build your confidence, whilst developing the academic and technical skills alongside the subject knowledge to continue to the degree of your choice.

    This foundation year will be available with these courses:
