Our undergraduate degrees with a foundation year are an alternative entry route into university for those without more traditional qualifications or grades, or are entering university after a notable period of time out of education. The programme offers support and guidance in developing the skills required for degree-level study. The foundation year will focus specifically on communication (oral and written), critical thinking, research, independent study, digital and employability skills. The modules are designed to embed the development of these skills within the broad areas of business, communications, humanities and social sciences. On successful completion of the foundation year, students will automatically progress on to the first year of our Communications and Marketing programme A Placement Year is an opportunity to put what you’re learning on your course into practice, to build your professional network, gain relevant experience to add to your CV and get an insight into what it is really like to work in a particular sector.
