BA (Hons) English with Foundation Year

... United Kingdom
... Newman University

Course Overview

The foundation year provides an alternative route to undergraduate degrees for those unable to meet the traditional entry requirements for a three-year degree and for those looking to build their confidence and academic skills.

You apply via UCAS for the English (with Foundation Year) course and after successfully completing the first year you will progress onto the final three years of the degree. At this point, there may be the opportunity to transfer to a related degree within the arts and humanities subject areas. Such a transfer is subject to the agreement of the course tutor and meeting any additional entry requirements.

General Eligibility

All students apply through UCAS. Students will ideally require 48 UCAS points to access the program.

Those with significant work and life experience of a complexity that demonstrates an aptitude to study at a degree level, but with no formal qualifications, will also be favorably considered. Different degree pathway options available at the end of the foundation year may have different additional entry requirements.

If you require any further information or clarification of entry requirements please contact our friendly, helpful Admissions department, who will be happy to help.

Part Time Work Details

20 Hours per week.

Language Requirement

  • The University is not licensed by the UK Government to sponsor migrant students under the Student route and is therefore unable to accept applications from international students at present.
