Course summary

Developing the skills, knowledge and understanding needed to go onto explore cutting-edge technological applications on the degree course that evolves in line with developments in research and industry.,The Foundation Programme is designed for students from under-represented groups in higher education, who have the potential to achieve the standard for admission to Durham, but who, because of educational disadvantage or disruption, do not have the level of attainment or access to qualifications required for entry to a Durham University course. The Foundation Programme is delivered by a dedicated team of academic tutors from Durham’s Centre for Academic Development (DCAD). Each year it provides places for 100 students and supports them to progress to Level 1 study in over 33 academic subjects from every academic department in the University. The Foundation Programme supports students to develop the skills and subject knowledge required for successful study at degree level. The content focuses on developing epistemological maturity, metacognitive skills, and independent learning, becoming increasingly specialised as the course progresses. On successful completion of the Foundation Year, students will progress to the first year of their degree G400 - Durham University.The Foundation Programme provides 120 academic credits divided into modules, with 20 hours of taught content and 10 hours of tutorial or small group seminar support for every 15 credits. We also expect our students to engage in a further 100 hours of self-directed study (including assignments and tests) for every 15 credits they study. This is broadly in-line with the majority of academic departments across Durham University, although individual variation does exist between departments.Course structureYear 1 modulesCore modules:Concepts, Methods and Theories in Computer ScienceConcepts, Methods and Theories in Data ScienceConcepts, Methods and Theories in Physics 1Scholarship in Higher Education (Core)Advanced Scholarship in Higher Education for Science and EconomicsMathematics 3
