International foundation year programme

If you want to study at a British university but don't have the typical entry qualifications, our four-year international foundation year programme allows you to undertake an undergraduate degree in museum studies and archaeology .

“I was familiar with writing descriptive and informative essays; however, having support and guidance with essay writing was been beneficial. I took three optional modules alongside my core modules, which was really enjoyable as I could choose the modules I knew I would get the most out of, like ‘Perspective in the Humanities’. Each week we were taught a new topic, which I could carry through to Year 1 of my degree.”
