Course Overview

Our Politics and International Relations with Foundation Year course begins by equipping you with the skills and knowledge required for undergraduate study.

What is a Foundation Year?

It's an academic year spent building your skills in good academic practices while experiencing all the aspects of student life. After which, you will be ready to progress seamlessly to your chosen degree.

Our foundation year course is particularly suited to you if:

• you do not have the relevant qualifications

• you are returning to study and need to build up your skills and/or confidence

At the end of an academic year spent focusing on a range of subjects designed to underpin your future study you will be ready for your BA (Hons) Politics and International Relations degree.
