How will I learn on this Social Sciences foundation course?
The course offers a range of learning opportunities in a challenging,
stimulating and dynamic environment.
Core modules are aimed at developing your knowledge and understanding of
theory and practice. You will also learn how to collect and analyse data as you
explore the research methodologies used across the social science disciplines.
Teaching methods include lectures, small-group discussions
and individual tutorials, guided study and independent learning. These will be
supported by regular feedback sessions during which you can discuss your
progress with a personal tutor and ask further questions.
The assessment strategy is both professionally and
academically focused giving you the best opportunity to demonstrate your skills
and knowledge. You might be asked to complete multiple choice tests, write
essays, complete document analysis, understand qualitative and quantitative
data, produce a presentation or compile a portfolio.
