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 Media Studies with a Foundation Year is the perfect choice. Our Foundation Year is an intensive and exciting year of study.
