The Foundation degree is a dynamic, research-rich programme. You will learn from a team of world-leading scholars from across the humanities spectrum. Our lecturers are dedicated and passionate about their subject areas and you will benefit from their extensive knowledge. Teaching encompasses your lecturer's own practice as well as current research, which means you will learn from those at the cutting-edge of the subject. Assessment will take the form of multiple choice tests, essay writing and document analysis, the examination of qualitative and quantitative data, and presentations. The Foundation degree includes the production of a humanities portfolio where you bring together all that you have learnt and the skills you have acquired. As a humanities student you will develop your own knowledge and understanding of core concepts and theories, current practice and procedures. You will also learn how to conduct your own research, gather reliable and justifiable information, construct rigorous arguments, and present your finding. On completion of the Foundation degree you will have developed a wider understanding of the humanities and developed the knowledge and skills necessary for you to progress onto your chosen undergraduate degree, including History, Literature, Language and Linguistics, Creative Writing, Journalism, and American Studies, depending on your interests and desired career path.
