The Course To complete the FDLA successfully, you must take and pass eight modules. There is a wide choice of modules and your tutors will guide you according to your interests and future studies. For example, you will practise identifying key information, learn how to present a paper to your seminar group and how to lead a discussion. You will extend your academic writing skills by selecting and organising your ideas and developing your academic writing style. Your course tutors will give you specific individual feedback on all aspects of your work.
Assessment can be by coursework, examination or a combination of both.
The Next Step You will be advised to choose modules on your FDLA programme which are relevant to your future course of studies. During Term 1, you will receive plenty of help and advice in choosing your undergraduate course at Oxford Brookes or any other British university of your choice. Please note that although the award of the Foundation Diploma in Liberal Arts demonstrates your academic competence, it does not automatically qualify you for entry to an undergraduate course. Different universities will require different grades on your FDLA for entry to their courses. The FDLA is fully validated by Oxford Brookes University.
