International Foundation Programme in Humanities & Social Sciences

All students study two compulsory modules and select one optional module based on their intended degree subject. All of the modules support your critical thinking skills development as they encourage you to analyse concepts and develop reasoned arguments within your chosen subject area. All modules run throughout the academic year to ensure you have the opportunity to develop and improve key skill areas.

Teaching is a mix of lectures, seminars and classes and all students will have time dedicated to self-study and independent research tasks. You will be assigned a personal tutor and meet with them on a regular basis to receive individual advice on your progress. You will also have the opportunity to take a range of optional IELTS and LNAT (Law pathway only) classes. UCAS workshops and tutorials are scheduled for term one and these support you in making appropriate university and subject choices.

All of the modules support your subject and linguistic skills development as they encourage you to analyse concepts and develop ideas and arguments in your chosen subject area.

You will take three modules.

• Culture, Theory & Society

• Business Management with Integrated Study Skills
