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 History of Art with Foundation Year course is the perfect choice. Our Humanities Foundation Year is an intensive and exciting year of study. You’ll focus on the topics which interest you. And you'll create a tool kit 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 History, Literature, Philosophy, Film, Media, and Politics. We’ll help you make connections between different disciplines and spark your curiosity. We'll also encourage you to work towards your own individual learning goals. During your History of Art degree, you’ll have access to all the opportunities and resources that UEA has to offer. Including the amazing Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts on your doorstep. As you develop your own academic interests and passions, you’ll then be well-placed to progress onto the degree that’s the best fit for you. After successfully completing your Foundation Year, you can move onto the BA History of Art degree. Alternatively, you can request to transfer to 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
