地理与基础年

具有预科课程的地理课程主要面向因某种原因而没有机会研究入学第一年所需的必修科目的候选人。拥有预科课程的地理课程可为尚未学习正确学科或未达到所需资历的学生（可能由于疾病，家庭问题或其他承诺）进入地理课程。通常，不会仅仅因为其A级成绩/预科课程低于直接进入学位课程的要求而向那些应聘者提供报价。该课程为期一年，只要满足相关进阶标准，您就可以进入地理（BA或BSc）专业。课程代码-L7FY
This course is primarily for candidates who have not studied the prerequisite subjects needed for first year entry, or have not met their expected entrance requirements due to adverse situations, or because of their sporting commitments, as well as mature students returning to education or care leavers. Completing a foundation year will enable you to progress onto first year of Geography, provided the relevant progression criteria are met. Our foundation course is taught in-house by University staff, including specialist Foundation teaching staff. As a student on the course you will be a full member of the University, with the same access to the Students' Union, clubs, societies, sports facilities and support departments. You will be taught through a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops and tutorials. During the year you will undertake modules in Geography with a choice of Physics, Sports Science, Economics, Chemistry, Psychology with Sociology, Biology and Business. Completing a foundation year can be a real attribute to your overall degree success. It not only opens doors to courses that may have previously looked closed, but also provides a sound base on which to establish a successful academic career. Many who have completed the foundation year have also said how beneficial it was to them in supporting their transition into University life.
