Course summary

If you have the potential to study at degree level, but you dont meet the entry requirements, a Foundation Year can help 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. As well as the Academic Practice units, which help develop your study skills for learning at degree-level, youll also study a selection of humanities units. Once you have successfully passed your Foundation Year you will progress directly onto Year 1 of your linked honours degree. All humanities foundation year students study the Academic Practice (1 and 2) units which will help you to develop the academic and study skills required for degree-level work. You will also study topics in Key Case Studies in International Relations, Philosophical Responses to the Contemporary World, and Modern Britain Since 1945. 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.

Career prospects

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

These skills are transferable to a wide range of careers including roles in business and management, central and local government, international institutions, voluntary organisations, political parties, the media, publishing, research and teaching.
