Program Description

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 units 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 units, which help develop your study skills for learning at the degree-level, you’ll 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. Successful completion of the foundation year guarantees automatic progression into Year 1 of your chosen linked degree.

Graduates develop a number of transferable skills well suited to a broad range of graduate employment opportunities. Possible roles include jobs in the public sector (housing and education departments in councils, the police, the military), utilities, the financial sector, recruitment, journalism, media, non-governmental organisations, charities, development work, teaching, the law and academic research. A language-focused degree allows you to learn many transferable skills that can be used in a multitude of jobs or further study.
