You will have the opportunity to explore a variety of academic disciplines, encountering a wide range of subjects and ideas. You will engage in a range of teaching and learning activities, including lectures, seminars, group work, workshops and online learning.Passing your first year guarantees progression onto any of our undergraduate degrees offered with an integrated Foundation Year.If you wish to study two academic subjects in depth our Joint Honours degree programmes are a great way to do this.
