English Language and Linguistics with Foundation Year

Our degrees with a foundation year offer a route into degree level study for mature students without standard entry qualifications.

The foundation year of this programme provides students with non-standard entry qualifications a thorough and supportive academic preparation for successful degree level study in the School of English. On successful completion of the foundation year, students will progress to BA English Language and Linguistics.

The foundation year to this degree is carefully designed to build your confidence in your abilities, develop essential academic and study skills, and provide the subject specific knowledge essential for success. You will study within the Department for Lifelong Learning, where we have nearly forty years’ experience working with adult learners, helping them to unlock their potential to succeed at degree-level study.
