The Foundation Year aims to support and sustain you as an individual learner, and to help you to learn with and from others through regular group interaction and engagement. Your taught sessions will be delivered by staff who are enthusiastic and committed to their areas of expertise, and will share the latest evidence and real -world experiences with you. We use a blended learning approach utilising a range of modern learning technologies to provide stimulating, flexible and responsive learning in both virtual and physical spaces.
We will deliver content in a developmental way, meaning that we begin with important foundations, and then we build on this learning throughout the module. You will learn through a mixture of short lectures, small group teaching, interactive group work, supported problem solving, tutorials, provided either physically or virtually, and independent study.
You will experience small group-based tasks throughout the your studies, with many opportunities to practice skills throughout the programme. The aim is that you will be in a strong position to progress onto your chosen degree programme with a sound understanding of core health and wellbeing principles and with the essential communication, study and research skills needed for your next step.
