Modern Language with a Foundation Year

Overview

At UEA, we believe everyone should have the chance to study at degree level. You might not yet have the required grades. You may need a little extra support. You may need time to decide where your interests lie. If so, then our BA Modern Language Foundation Year is the perfect choice.

Our Foundation Year is an intensive and exciting year of study where you can learn a new language, explore related subjects, and create a toolkit of essential academic skills.

UEA’s Interdisciplinary Institute for the Humanities provides a supportive and rewarding learning environment. You'll study a range of academic subjects alongside developing your language skills, such as: Literature, History, Philosophy, Film, Media, and Politics. We’ll help you make links between different disciplines to spark your curiosity. We'll also encourage you to work towards your own individual learning goals.

During your Foundation Year, you’ll have access to all the opportunities and facilities UEA has to offer so you can pursue your own language interests. You’ll also have the opportunity to develop your communication skills with our in-house language lab, or get involved with one of the language-based activities.

As your passion for language and communication studies grows, you’ll then be well-placed to progress to the degree that’s best for you. After successfully completing your Foundation Year, you’ll move onto BA Modern Language, studying one of French, Japanese or Spanish to degree level. Alternatively, you can request to transfer to another undergraduate course within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. Use the Foundation Year to springboard onto the degree of your choice. Take control of your future studies.
