Undergraduate Prospectus 2017 | Foundation Years

Foundation
Years
Whether you have non-traditional qualifications,
want to change your subjects, have had a break
from education and wish to return or want a
change of career – the foundation years at Keele
provide an opportunity for those with diverse
backgrounds to access an honours degree.
The programme is an excellent introduction to
study at university; most students who complete
the foundation year have ultimately obtained a
first class or upper second class honours degree.
All of the teaching is delivered on the Keele campus by highly
qualified academic and professional staff, complemented by an
experienced student support team. Teaching methods include
lectures, laboratory classes, seminars, workshops and tutorials,
and you will make use of state-of-the-art undergraduate
teaching facilities and apparatus. Assessment is through a wide
range of coursework, including independent and group research
projects, workbooks, essays and presentations, together with
examinations which are held at the end of both semesters.
In addition to the university’s support network, you will have
a personal tutor whom you see on a weekly basis in small
group tutorials.
