If you're passionate about these areas and ready to take your studies to the next level, completing this one-year course will set you on the path to your linked undergraduate degree. During your foundation year, you'll be introduced to your specialist subject as well as being given a broad introduction to the humanities and social sciences, with training to help you thrive in higher education.
