  6. Humanities Foundation Year

Our Humanities Foundation Year equips students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to be successful on our highly esteemed humanities and social sciences degree programmes. It’s ideal if you need a little more support after further education or if you are returning to education after a gap. On the Foundation Year, you’ll be introduced to higher education as you learn about your subject, the humanities, and what it means to be a student at Swansea. You’ll also be supported to develop important study skills in areas including academic writing, note-taking, and research so that you’re fully prepared for the exciting challenges that lie ahead on your chosen degree pathway.
