Bachelor's Humanities Degree with a Blended Learning Foundation Year

Our January start Foundation Years adopt a blended learning approach, with the majority of learning taking place online, and approximately two weeks per semester on campus. The January start is particularly useful for students wishing to return to education following time out of studying, or who are seeking a flexible approach to their Foundation Year studies.

Our January start is available across most of our Science, Humanities, Social Science and Business courses.

How will the course be taught?
Whilst still being a full-time course, our blended delivery model combines live teaching sessions - both online and on-campus - with self-directed study, enabling you to predominantly study at a time that suits your lifestyle. You will benefit from weekly online taught sessions which encourage you to engage with your teachers and peers.

In addition to online study there will be a series of full study days that you will be required to attend throughout each semester. These sessions may include lab-based activities, group work, review of course and assessment materials studied online. They will emphasise opportunities for you to deepen your knowledge and understanding of your chosen route.
