Course summary

If you have the potential to study at degree level, but you dont meet the entry requirements, a foundation year can bridge the gap – laying the groundwork for entry into Year 1. The units youll 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 for the Humanities and Social Sciences unit, which helps develop your study skills for learning at the degree-level, youll also do three humanities units. Once you have successfully passed your Foundation Year you will progress directly onto Year 1 of your linked honours degree. Each year we accept hundreds of students onto Foundation Year courses who have the ability to study at degree level but who don't have the qualifications to enter directly onto an honours degree. Has content that is tailored so that it is appropriate to your chosen degree. Helps you to develop the study skills and academic knowledge you will need to start Year 1 of your course with confidence. All Humanities Foundation Year students study the Academic Practice for the Humanities and Social Sciences unit, which will help you to develop the academic and study skills required for degree-level work. You will also study topics in Approaches to English, Modern Britain since 1945 (with or without Uniwide Language option) and an Introduction to Languages, Culture and Linguistics. International students are placed on the Foundation Year International Route which offers additional English language study skills and tutor support through the English and Academic Study unit. This unit will replace Introduction to Languages, Culture and Linguistics. Teaching is delivered via a range of methods including lectures, seminars, tutorials and, where appropriate, practical workshops, PC lab sessions, and online learning. Teaching methods depend on your chosen linked honours degree and you should expect to spend some time each week in independent study. Successful completion of the Foundation Year guarantees automatic progression onto Year 1 of the degree you have chosen to study.

Career prospects

Successful completion of the foundation year guarantees automatic progression into Year 1 of your chosen linked degree.

Graduates of BA (Hons) English and Film enter a wide range of careers, especially media work and teaching, where their transferable skills are particularly relevant. Recent graduates have become school and college teachers and have gained employment in fields as diverse as banking, finance, manufacturing and retail.

There is also the opportunity to engage in further study and professional training, for example some of our graduates go on to study creative writing at postgraduate level at our Manchester Writing School under the creative direction of Professor Carol Ann Duffy DBE (Poet Laureate 2009-2019).
