Sometimes life gets in the way of plans. If you don?t yet have the grades required to join our American Studies degrees, our Foundation Year programme will help you develop the skills and knowledge you need. You will study with dedicated lecturers in the Interdisciplinary Institute for the Humanities, exploring subjects including literature, history, philosophy, film, television and media, American studies, politics and history of art. You?ll gain a sound theoretical basis for your continuing studies, and have the chance to get a taste of previously unknown areas of study. You?ll be actively encouraged to develop your own scholarly interests and ideas throughout your studies, so when you successfully finish your Foundation Year, you?ll be perfectly placed to progress to your degree.
You will gain essential knowledge of many of the concepts, methods and techniques that you will need during your degree. You will also benefit from smaller class sizes, individual tutorials and a strong emphasis on study skills, and we?ll work closely with you to identify and achieve your personal learning goals. |
