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 Criminology and Sociology programme
Course Details - Modules
Students will take four core modules as part of the foundation year: Personal Learning Competencies, Taking a professional Approach; Thinking Critically, Creatively and Ethically, The Individual Project, London Stories and Performing Identities
Course Details – Assessment Method
We use a wide range of methods of assessment to support students in meeting the learning objectives. These include essays and reports, student presentations, in class tests, formal examinations and a variety of resource-based assessments.
Essays are typically 1,000-2,000 words in length, although at Level 6 there is an opportunity to conduct your own research module (with the agreement of a supervising tutor) which requires a 5,000 words essay or a dissertation of 10,000 words.
