Liberal Arts with a Foundation Year at University of East Anglia UEA - UCAS

Course summary

Overview At UEA, we believe everyone should have the chance to study at degree level. You might not yet have the required grades. You may need a little extra support. You may need time to decide where your interests lie. If so, then our Liberal Arts with a Foundation Year is the perfect choice. Our Humanities Foundation Year is an intensive and exciting year of study. You’ll focus on the topics which intrigue you. And you'll also create a toolkit of essential academic skills. We provide a supportive and rewarding learning environment. You'll study with dedicated lecturers from UEA’s Interdisciplinary Institute for the Humanities. You’ll explore a wide range of academic subjects, including Literature, History, Philosophy, Film, Media, and Politics. We’ll help you make connections between different disciplines to spark your curiosity. We'll also encourage you to work towards your own individual learning goals. While studying with us you’ll have access to all the opportunities and resources that UEA has to offer, from the Media Suite to the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, giving you the space to grow your interests outside the seminar room. As you develop your own academic interests, you’ll then be well-placed to progress onto the degree that’s right for you. After successfully completing your Foundation Year, you can move onto the BA Liberal Arts degree to continue studying a combination of disciplines. Alternatively, you can request to transfer onto another undergraduate course within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. Use the Foundation Year to springboard onto the degree of your choice. Take control of your own future studies. Disclaimer Course details are subject to change. You should always confirm the details on the provider's website: www.uea.ac.uk
