Bachelor's Science Degree with a Blended Learning Foundation Year

Our January start Foundation Years adopt a blended learning approach, with the majority of learning taking place online, and approximately two weeks per semester on campus. It is ideal for students wishing to return to education, or who are seeking a flexible approach to their studies. It is available across most of our Science, Humanities, Social Science and Business courses.

Our blended delivery model combines live teaching sessions, online and on-campus, with self-directed study, enabling you to largely study at a time to suit you. You'll benefit from weekly online taught sessions, encouraging you to engage with teachers and peers. There will also be a series of full study days that you will be required to attend in each semester. These may include lab-based activities, group work, review of course and assessment materials studied online.

Successful completion of the January start Foundation Year guarantees progression onto a full-time undergraduate programme on campus. www.keele.ac.uk/study/foundationyears/januaryintake/#ucas-codes-for-january-start-foundation-years
