Course Summary

**Why study a Foundation Year at UWTSD Lampeter?** - The Integrated Foundation Year has been designed to help you develop the skills and subject-specific knowledge needed to undertake a degree course and specialise in a specific area. - Offers you an alternative route into studying with us even if your grades weren’t suitable or if you don’t meet the entry requirements of your chosen course. - The History programme offers a chance to study a broad sweep of history, all the way back to antiquity through to the Middle Ages and right up to the present day. - You will attend small-group classes with a focus on discussion and learning activities to encourage the self-development and critical reflection accepted as key to the development of personal and professional capacities. - We take an immersive approach to learning offering a diverse range of teaching approaches, including lectures, seminars, tutorials and workshop sessions.

Course Details - Modules

The modules offered on the foundation year focus on introducing you to University life and providing you with academic survival skills, such as academic writing skills, understanding literature, and research skills. Taking into account that student choices and requirements can differ radically, as well as ensuring a rounded knowledge of History generally, the scheme offers modules covering a wide range of topics and issues. Some of the areas of study include, for example, the Medieval World, Caesar and Cicero, Warfare, the Cistercians, Muslim societies in the modern world, Britain and the Great War, and urban cultural histories. A range of modules in other disciplines is offered alongside your main subject modules. You could take modules in, for example, Classics, Philosophy, Creative Writing or any of our other Humanities subjects, whichever Humanities degree-programme you choose.

Course Details – Assessment Method

One of the standout features of studying with the Faculty of Humanities in Lampeter is the excellent tutor contact you will have.
