Course summary

our Arts and Humanities Foundation Year will help prepare you for the BA English Language and Literature. This degree allows you to combine your fondness for literature with your fascination of language. You’ll choose from a wide range of modules, and as you progress, you can tailor your degree to the aspects which interest you the most.

You do not require an English A-level if you join the BA English Language and Literature through the Arts and Humanities Foundation Year route.

Our foundation programme is a preparatory year designed for talented UK students with an interest in arts and humanities subjects, but whose personal circumstances make achieving our usual entry requirements difficult.

During the foundation year you will be a full member of the university, with all the opportunities this offers, including the same accommodation options as direct entry students.

As you work through your year, you may develop different ideas about your progression degree. That’s OK. Your tutors will guide you through your choices, which includes joint honours courses offered within the Faculty of Arts. For now, apply for the named pathway which most interests you.

Why choose this course?

  • Automatic progression to your degree upon successful completion of the Foundation Year - there's no need to reapply.
  • Preparation for success - gain the skills and confidence during the foundation year to thrive as an undergraduate.
  • Great suppor - benefit from dedicated foundation year tutors.
  • Carefully designed curriculum - each of the six modules aims to give you the best start to your progression degree.
  • Freedom to explore - deepen your knowledge of your favourite topics and explore new ones.
  • Build employability - develop your CV-boosting skills through integrated professional competencies training during the foundation year.
  • Change your mind - this Foundation Year allows progression to a wide range of Arts and Humanities degrees. Only music degrees, and some modern language degrees require specific subjects at A level or equivalent. If you do change your mind about this subject during the year, you can discuss your alternatives with your tutor.
