A number of our degrees are also offered with an additional foundation year (Year 0). Whether you are a school-leaver or someone considering returning to study but don’t have the entry requirements for your chosen subject, a foundation year course may be just what you’re looking for. A foundation year is the first year of a four year programme which: • provides an introduction not only to study at University but also to your chosen subject • offers you a highly supportive environment where you can develop the self-confidence, knowledge, skills and understanding for further study. Following the Foundation Year you will go on to explore areas including: • fascism and the Cold War • women in Medieval history • troubles in Northern Ireland
