If you're capable of degree-level study but fall short of the entry criteria, a foundation year serves as a stepping stone – preparing you for entry into Year 1. The curriculum is designed to boost your confidence and equip you with the necessary skills for your chosen degree. Alongside Academic Practice modules that enhance your study techniques for higher education, you'll explore various humanities subjects. Upon successfully completing your foundation year, you'll advance directly to Year 1 of your selected honors degree. Career opportunities Successfully finishing the foundation year ensures seamless progression to Year 1 of your linked degree. BA (Hons) English graduates pursue diverse career paths, particularly in media and education, where their adaptable skills are highly valued. Alumni have secured roles as school and college educators, while others have ventured into sectors like banking, finance, manufacturing, and retail. Further study and professional development options are also available. Some graduates pursue postgraduate studies in creative writing at our Manchester Writing School, led by Professor Carol Ann Duffy DBE (Poet Laureate 2009-2019). Other students have undertaken specialized training for careers in law, public administration, management, and library sciences.
