The Bachelor of Science - Psychology with a Foundation Year for Elite Athletes course is primarily for candidates who have not studied the prerequisite subjects needed for first year entry, or have not met their expected entrance requirements due to adverse situations, or because of their previous sport performance commitments, as well as mature students returning to education or care leavers.
The Foundation Studies programme at Loughborough University is designed to help a range of students realise their university ambitions. The streamed approach enables them to progress on to one of multiple courses within their chosen stream – giving them further time to decide which course is right for them.
The Foundation Programme is integrated into students' degree and prepares them for degree-level study in a supportive learning environment. The modules are taught by the Loughborough University academics who have significant experience of teaching in Higher or Further Education, pursue research in innovation in e-learning and help to shape the National Foundation Year Network policies.
When students come to study a foundation programme, they will have compulsory modules that prepare them for their chosen degree subject. These are taught within the same high tech University spaces as those studying undergraduate degrees.
