About this course

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 degree-level, you’ll also study a selection of humanities units.

Once you have successfully passed your foundation year you will progress directly into Year 1 of your linked honours degree. This programme leads to the award of BA (Hons) Multimedia Journalism.

Features and Benefits

  • Each year we accept hundreds of students onto foundation year courses who have the ability to study at degree level but who don't have the qualifications to enter directly onto an honours degree.

  • The content of the course is tailored so that it is appropriate to your chosen degree whilst also giving a broad grounding in a range of associated areas, building complementary skills and knowledge to allow you to thrive on the honours degree course.

  • Helps you to develop the study skills and academic knowledge you will need to start Year 1 of your course with confidence.
