BA (Hons) Literature and Art History (Including Foundation Year)

... United Kingdom
... University of Essex

Course Overview

Our four-year BA Literature and Art History (including foundation year), will be suitable for you if your academic qualifications do not yet meet our entrance requirements for the four-year version of this course and you want a programme that increases your subject knowledge as well as improves your academic skills in order to support your academic performance. Our five-year version of this course enables you to study abroad during your fourth year of study.

This course includes a foundation year (Year Zero), followed by a further three or four years of study depending on whether you choose to study abroad for a year. During your Year Zero, you study three academic subjects relevant to your chosen course as well as a compulsory academic skills module, with additional English language for non-English speakers.

General Eligibility

UK and EU applicants:

  • All applications for degree courses with a foundation year (Year Zero) will be considered individually, whether you

  • think you might not have the grades to enter the first year of a degree course;

  • have non-traditional qualifications or experience (e.g. you haven’t studied A-levels or a BTEC);

  • are returning to university after some time away from education; or

  • are looking for more support during the transition into university study.

    Standard offer:

  • Our standard offer is 72 UCAS tariff points from at least two full A-levels, or equivalent.

  • Examples of the above tariff may include:

  • A-levels: DDD

  • BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma: MMP

  • T-levels: Pass with E in core

International & EU entry requirements
