Courses
We offer the following undergraduate courses with a foundation year.
Course info
You'll be taught over two semesters in the year; autumn and spring.
You’ll complete six modules in total, all worth 20 credits each. The modules will build your confidence and give you the key skills you need to complete your chosen degree.
The modules include:
- Academic English and study skills – you’ll learn study skills, such as how to structure an essay, to reference and how to use library resources, like journals. All of which will help you to develop your confidence in reading, academic writing and presentation skills
- Subject-area modules – which will be related to the course you are studying
The whole course is taught in a way that can fit around your other commitments.
Once you’ve completed the modules, you’ll be able to move into your first year of your degree.
Support every step of the way.
Throughout your studies, you'll be given personal study and career support, in a friendly and welcoming community, where you can develop your interest outside your studies.
You’ll also find the right help quickly and easily with our one-stop, 24/7 support service, Nest.
Foundation Scholarship
Our Foundation Scholarship will automatically be awarded to all home foundation students enrolling in September 2024 for the foundation year and will be awarded during every year of degree study if you complete the course and choose to continue onto a Roehampton full degree the following year.
