Want to explore sociology, psychology, social work or adult nursing practice but not quite ready to study at degree level?<br/><br/>Students will study a range of topics that are central or highly relevant to the study of the social sciences. You’ll explore areas such as mental health and wellbeing, contemporary issues in social sciences, and professional practice to help prepare for undergraduate study. <br/><br/>The course has an applied focus – students are encouraged and enabled to apply their theoretical knowledge to real world problems, such as mental health, psychological wellbeing and everyday problem-solving. <br/><br/>On successful completion of the foundation year, students will be eligible to progress onto our sociology programme or one of our psychology undergraduate degrees, which are accredited by the British Psychology Society. Students interested in social work or adult nursing practice can apply and be interviewed for either of these degrees.<br/><br/>During this foundation year, you’ll begin to develop the academic writing and independent learning skills necessary to study a scientific discipline.

If you meet all the requirements at the end of the course you will progress onto the BA (Hons) Criminology course. <br/><br/>**Who is this course for?**<br/>The course is specifically designed for those wanting to study social sciences but who do not meet the entry requirements.
