Course summary

If you have the potential to study at degree level, but you dont meet the entry requirements, a foundation year can help bridge the gap – laying the groundwork for entry into Year 1. The modules youll study are designed to build your confidence and bring you up to speed for the rest of your chosen degree. As well as the Academic Practice module, which helps develop your study skills for learning at degree-level, youll also study a selection of humanities modules. Once you have successfully passed your foundation year you will progress directly onto Year 1 of your linked honours degree.

Career prospects

Successful completion of the foundation year guarantees automatic progression into Year 1 of your chosen linked degree.

Graduates of BA (Hons) English and Creative Writing enter a wide range of careers, especially media work and teaching, where their transferable skills are particularly relevant. Recent graduates have become school and college teachers, and gained employment in fields as diverse as banking, finance, manufacturing and retail.

There is also the opportunity to engage in further study and professional training, for example some of our graduates go on to study creative writing at postgraduate level at our Manchester Writing School under the creative direction of Professor Carol Ann Duffy DBE (Poet Laureate 2009-2019).
