A foundation year at Leeds Beckett is an ideal first step into higher education and will fully prepare students for undergraduate study. We are offering our BA (Hons) Physical Education with Outdoor Education degree with an integrated foundation year. If they don't have the required UCAS points to be able to secure a place on the full degree program, this foundation year will prepare them for academic life at our university.
During the foundation year, students will study four sport-related modules. These will introduce them to the subjects included on each of our 10 routes, from sport development and sport and exercise science to coaching and lifelong health.
Two additional modules will develop the academic and study skills needed to successfully transition from school or the workplace to higher education and on to their full degree program. Students will also learn how to access the extensive resources and support services available here at Leeds Beckett, whether they need a hand locating specialist materials in the Library, or they need advice about personal issues.
During their second, third and fourth years students will study an average of six modules each year.
