Course Overview

This four-year degree course is designed to provide a supportive and engaging start to university life, making it an ideal route if you do not meet the entry requirements for a standard undergraduate degree. The multidisciplinary foundation year (Year 0) focuses on social sciences, helping you develop essential academic skills in writing, critical thinking, and research. You will study in small, interactive groups, fostering a collaborative environment that builds confidence and prepares you for the subsequent three years of your degree. Upon successful completion of the foundation year, you will join the Education BA (Hons) programme, graduating with the same qualification as those who entered directly. The institution prides itself on providing exceptional academic and pastoral support, including one-to-one tutorials and access to a virtual learning platform. This course is perfect for those returning to education or seeking a structured pathway to develop their potential and subject knowledge for a future career in the education sector.
