Course summary

If you have the potential to study at degree level but you don’t meet the entry requirements, a foundation year can bridge the gap – laying the groundwork for entry into Year 1. The units you’ll study are designed to build your confidence and bring you up to speed for the rest of your chosen degree. As well as the Academic Practice units, which help develop your study skills for learning at degree-level, you'll also study a selection of humanities units. Once you have successfully passed your Foundation Year you will progress directly onto Year 1 of your linked honours degree. Below is a list of the linked honours degrees for Sociology and Criminology with a Foundation Year:

  • BA (Hons) Sociology (UCAS code L303)
  • BA (Hons) Criminology (UCAS code L312)
  • BA (Hons) Criminology and Sociology (UCAS code LL31)
Applicants interested in studying one of the BSc (Hons) Quantitative Methods routes but wishing to start with a Foundation Year will need to apply via the BA (Hons) route initially.
  • BSc (Hons) Sociology with Quantitative Methods
  • BSc (Hons) Criminology with Quantitative Methods
  • BSc (Hons) Criminology and Sociology with Quantitative Methods
For more information about each linked degree please see the Department of Sociology website and choose a course from the 'Single and Joint Honours Courses' list. Features and Benefits
